 International Friendship Fairs (IFF)  Promote Global Understanding

 

 

IFF offers a unique opportunity for community members and ISU international students to dispel stereotypes and gain intercultural understanding.

During IFF activities, international volunteers share items from their cultures in a fun and educational way. Community members then experience multicultural games, crafts, exotic music, stories and much more. 

IFF volunteers can be part of your community’s activities, including fairs, potlucks or special celebrations.

We want to invite all of you with a rich cultural experience to be an IFF volunteer. Please contact the IFF Coordinator for 2009-2010, Julja Mitrushi, at julja@iastate.edu or 515-294-1663.
