UAlberta's annual International Week is a chance for you to hear various perspectives from around the world, and to engage in deep conversations about global issues. Each year International Week has a theme that all of I-Week's speakers, talks and events focus on - this year we address the UNs Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
All International Week events are FREE!
