Immersion Project 2- Ummatic week festival

On  12th March  2012, IUM Rector Prof. Dato' Sri Dr. Zaleha Kamaruddin launched the Ummatic Week 2012 at Cultural Activity Centre, IIUM. A week long programme displayed the diversity and uniqueness of cultures at the University. The programme highlighted the cultures of various countries represented in IIUM such as those from Africa .such as Morocco , the Middle East and Asia including Malaysia. 


Our mission  to visit this festival is 

  1. To get  know  each others  by acknowledging  various  Islamic culture throughout  the  world. 
  2. To  go deeper   the history of each country and  understand their  norms  and  values.
  3. To gain  experiences  through the interaction  with  the students representatives for each  country  (booth)
Here,  we took some  photos   with them.






We went  from  one booth to another  booth just to  gather  as  many  info  as  we  can. Each representative that  we  met  proudly  told us  about their  country including their cultures and norms  as well. They did not hesitate to give  us their traditional  clothes  to be wore as to capture it as personal memory. 

You know, if  there is  no  such  event  like this, until now we will never get this useful info that is vital for us as a future counselor. Sometimes when we listened to their explanation regarding their views and perception towards their own country, our mind would be comprehend further about this opinion. For instances, when we visit Maldives booth, we discover that all people from that country are 100 percent muslim. And the representative from the country told us that their capital city is as big as UIA only. What a surprise! It is such as a interesting fact that we knew about this!

After visiting almost all the booth, finally we discover that in this world, actually there are so so so many races that have their own unique values like Malaysia, and perhaps more than that. Exciting, happy and thankful are our recent feeling that we got on that day. We knew that through this experience we will get many information that we think are useful for our career as counselors as we will deal with so many races instead of Malay.
