A number of students
from the “UAE”, who are sent on scholarships to study in the “USA”,
participated in the annual exhibition for the international students, which was
hosted on Saturday (17/4/2014) by “Boulder” city in the American State of
“Colorado”, with the participation of student delegations representing more
than (30) countries. The Emirati scholars presented a folklore performance, and
distributed a number of media materials including brochures, photos, and souvenirs
that all reflected the history of the “UAE”, its civilization, and its cultural,
scientific, economic, and urban development.
The students stressed
that their participation in the exhibition
was not for the purpose of the geographical representation, rather, it
was to present new ideas that reflect the culture of Emirati people, and the
level of civilization which the “UAE” reached by the efforts of its leadership.
Among the most important activities which the students were keen to perform,
and which received a wide admiration and participation from the visitors, was
placing the visitors’ fingerprints on a giant map of the “UAE”, which shaped a
drawing for the State’s flag.
The students
expressed their thanks for the officials and staff in the “Embassy of UAE in Washington”
and for their help that enabled the Emirate students participate successfully
in this international exhibition.
It is worth
mentioning that the “USA” is on top of the foreign countries, to which Emirati
students are sent on scholarships, and (165) students were sent on scholarships
to the “USA” during (1/10/2012) to
(1/10/2013), in order to obtain the various scientific degrees in many
disciplines.
