After having a discussion with the President of the Otago University Taiwanese Students' Association, I feel it is necesssary to promote further interaction between cultural societies to foster a united international students' community here in Dunedin.
One of the ideas is a social sports meet for cultural societies to get together, play some sports, meet new friends, and after that enjoy some refreshments.
I'd like to see this happen as sports is an easy way to get students involved and it also ensures people have fun at the same time. Perhaps, societies that participate can garner points not for winning but just for participation and these points will go toward the Society of the Year Award.
Also, most international students don't join the sports clubs as they don't want to get too involved in serious competition. I think organising a social sports meet will help foster ties between diverse groups of people and provide the opportunity for international students to partcipate in sports in an environment they are comfortable with.
Vote for me, Darren Lee, and we'll make it happen.
Sweet!
