Celebrating Languages, Music and Culture at the EMERGE Multilingual Cultural Event
The Globe was filled with music, poetry, language and cultural exchange on Friday, 25 September, as the EMERGE Multilingual Cultural Event, jointly organised by MLAL, CEUROS, and EMERGE Alliance, brought together staff, students and guests for a vibrant celebration of linguistic and cultural diversity.
AHSS Dean Sandra Joyce and Niall Keegan opened the event with an Irish song which set the tone for a morning dedicated to cultural expression and intercultural understanding.
The programme featured performances and recitations in Irish, Spanish, Scottish Gaelic, Japanese, French, German and Chinese, alongside captivating musical performances such as Indian classical music, flamenco guitar, a French choir performance involving staff and students, and contributions from participants representing a wide range of linguistic and cultural traditions.
The event concluded with a buffet lunch, providing an opportunity for attendees to connect and celebrate the rich multicultural community fostered by MLAL, CEUROS and EMERGE. The organisers extend their thanks to all performers and attendees for making the event such a memorable success.
