Global Issues Forum Every Thursday there is a presentation made by students about global and local affairs. Generally the students presenting are from the areas involved or are highly knowledgeable about the subject. Not only is it a chance for community members (students and staff) to learn about events and issues world wide from invaluable sources, but it is also a venue for the sharing of diverse political perspectives, and more often than not debate. The objective is to create an atmosphere of international awareness and motivate students and teachers to learn and keep track of current events that will impact the world and to understand past events that have shaped it.
Cultural Evenings The Chinese Cultural Evening takes place every year, while the other evenings, namely the North American Cultural Evening, Latin American Cultural Evening, Middle East and South Asia Cultural Evening, Asia-Pacific Cultural Evening, African Cultural Evening and European Cultural Evening take place once every two years, with 3 other regions every year. Hence a student in LPC experiences Chinese Cultural Evening in both their years and experiences the other six regions once in their two years; 3 one year and 3 another. It is common for representatives of countries such as Egypt, Turkey or Mexico to participate in 2 cultural evenings. There are also many students who feel they are a part of multiple cultures and may also choose to participate in more than one event.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“Both gossip and joking are intrinsically valuable activities. Both are essentially social activities that strengthen interpersonal bonds—we do not tell jokes and gossip to ourselves. As popular activities that evade social restrictions, they often refer to topics that are inaccessible to serious public discussion. Gossip and joking often appear together: when we gossip we usually tell jokes and when we are joking we often gossip as well.”
—Aaron Ben-Ze’Ev, Israeli philosopher. “The Vindication of Gossip,” Good Gossip, University Press of Kansas (1994)
