On Friday April 7th, Kurdish American Youth members participated in a second University's International Day for Culture. Tennessee State University hosted the event in which many of the different nations around the world represented their cultures and Kurdistan was again among them.

The Kurdish students at Tennessee State University took part in the International Fair at their University by setting up a Kurdistan booth and displaying the beautiful Kurdish culture for students, faculty and visitors to see and learn to about the Kurdish people.

Several different cultures were displayed at the International Fair and many students participated in the event. At the Kurdistan booth, there was music, instruments, carpets and other pieces displayed to show the richness of the Kurdish culture. There were several displays of traditional Kurdish clothing of different styles for the visitors of the booth to see. The Kurdish students at the booth gave brief lessons regarding the history and culture of the Kurdish people and their forgotten homeland, Kurdistan. The event was the second of its kind, following the International Day at the University of Texas at Dallas where the Kurdish American Youth hosted a similar booth. Through the freedom of expression and culture, events like International Day are a way for different peoples of the world to share their culture with one another. Young Kurds wish to continue to participate in events like this in the future.
