UCalgary International Video Contest
You travelled the world.
Now show us what you experienced!
Every Fall semester, UCalgary International hosts an international video contest. The contest is open
to all current students. This is an opportunity for students to show us their time on their Study Abroad program and the connections that they made through Study Abroad in their host country, culture, and community!
This year's theme is: “Perspectives”
We asked students: What was your perspective on things prior to your Study Abroad program? How did your experience change or alter your perspective? If you had to take on online course or make changes in your plans what were those experiences like? We wanted to know how their time as part of a Study Abroad program changed their worldview on things like education, learning, food, life-style, music and culture!
Entries were published on our Study Abroad YouTube channel and voted on during International Education Week in November.
