Build up your resilience through the development of intercultural competencies with Story Circles! Story Circles is a group of people who share stories in response to a particular topic in a structured way that encourages full and authentic participation in both listening to and sharing personal stories.

At this event, each participant will take turns sharing responses to pre-determined prompts and reacting to what other students share. The prompts will be provided in advance to give you time to gather your thoughts. Each prompt will revolve around your own unique cultural experiences and won’t require any additional research or preparation. Dr. Frank Dolce, designer of these virtual story-sharing events, will facilitate the story-sharing session.

This is your chance to make lasting connections with other students, share your story, and learn about other cultures represented in the program.

Welcome back to New York! Experience stunning views of the city while enjoying the best songs from around the world on One To World's first ever welcome cruise this October! You've likely absorbed the famous Manhattan skyline from the popular Staten Island Ferry, or from visits to other boroughs, but have you enjoyed these views on a party boat with a few hundred new and existing friends?

Get ready to immerse yourself in New York City this semester in a unique way you wouldn't be able to find through a Google Search! One To World has organized 4 exclusive architecture-themed walking tours of different areas of Manhattan and our first stop is downtown Manhattan in the financial district! We will learn about how the Dutch colonial era has left its mark on the oldest part of NYC.

While walking the circumference of New Amsterdam as it existed in 1664, we will also gain insight into why it is much harder to navigate downtown Manhattan compared to the rest of NYC, above Houston Street. This is a great opportunity to familiarize yourself with the city in a new and exciting way, all while making new friends in the process!

In an effort to offer meaningful educational exchanges between Fulbright grantees, One To World is continuing to offer its ongoing series where Fulbright scholars have a platform to share their research to Fulbright student and scholar attendees.

At our fourth session of the 2021-2022 academic year, our presenter will be Fulbright Scholar from Australia, Professor Brydie Leigh Bartleet, who is doing her research at New York University. In her talk, she will discuss changing the world with music: insights from Music as a Global Resource.

As the world comes to grips with the far-reaching impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the role of music, the arts, and cultural understanding has become more important than ever. As the current pandemic has highlighted, we are in need of creative solutions to the challenges facing communities and societies at large. This presentation will share powerful examples that demonstrate how music can play a role in solving some of the most difficult problems of our time from mental and physical illness, to poverty, natural disasters, and war. These examples will come from the Music as a Global Resource Compendium (5^th Edition), produced for the United Nations 75^th Anniversary by Fulbright Senior Scholar Professor Brydie-Leigh Bartleet and her Fulbright Host at NYU Professor Barbara Hesser. This edition features 109 exemplary projects that are using music to contribute towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Working across 54 countries, the featured projects are addressing some of the most complex social, cultural, health, educational, environmental, and economic issues facing our time.
