The Egyptian Cultural and Educational Bureau was delighted to welcome eight passionate students—both graduate and undergraduate—from the University of Montreal as part of the African Union Simulation program arranged by Howard University. In collaboration with Windsor University in the USA, this enriching visit offered a vibrant glimpse into Egypt’s cultural legacy.
The day began with an engaging tour of our bureau museum, where the students experienced firsthand the rich tapestry of Egyptian heritage. The carefully curated exhibits set the stage, offering insights into Egypt’s storied past and its timeless contributions to art, architecture, and science.
Following the museum tour, the students embarked on a virtual journey to Egypt through an interactive presentation delivered by the Egyptian Cultural and Educational Attaché. The session was dynamic and filled with lively discussions, as the students eagerly asked questions and shared their insights. Their genuine curiosity underscored the importance of cultural exchange and the value of learning about our traditions and modern realities.
The visit was further enhanced by an authentic taste of Egypt. Students savored traditional Egyptian food and drinks, enjoyed captivating videos showcasing Egypt’s landscapes and people, and even participated in fun games highlighting our beloved celebrities. These activities not only entertained but also deepened their understanding of Egyptian culture.
Adding to the day’s excitement, Egyptian students from Windsor University joined us, fostering a friendly atmosphere of knowledge exchange and discussion. This collaborative spirit reinforced the bonds between our institutions and demonstrated how cultural diplomacy can bridge diverse communities.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to all participants and partners for making this day a memorable celebration of learning, culture, and international friendship.
