Foreign Language and Culture Club
About Details
At FLCC, we cherish every culture and language for its unique essence. Our aim at IIM Kashipur is to enrich our community's appreciation of diverse cultures and foreign languages. Learning a new language isn't just about saying hello – it's a journey to understanding, a bridge to respect the astounding diversity that sparks our world.
We seek to immerse our community in many cultures and ways of life through our various events and competitions, such as foreign language workshops, quizzes, case competitions, and webinars with professionals from around the world. We also celebrate different cultures such as Halloween, Japanese cultural fest etc, that highlight the diversity of our global community.
By embracing Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, we celebrate our global family. Promoting unity in diversity and overcoming cultural barriers can be achieved through learning new languages and cultures.
