Welcome
One
World
Week
to
2016!
One World Week is now in its third decade! As well as being
one of the UK’s largest student-run festivals, it is also arguably one of the most inclusive. Reflecting the diversity of cultures and opportunities on campus, it aims to give students
the opportunity to showcase their efforts while encouraging
them to reflect on issues that affect our One World.
One World Week is comprised of the Fashion Show, the
Fashion Show After-Party, Warwick’s Got Talent, Forums and
Sports. Over the course of six days, campus will come alive
through a series of debates and discussions, performances,
sporting tournaments and events, as well as cultural exhibitions and workshops.
We invite everyone to explore what One World Week has
to offer through this booklet. We look forward to welcoming
you to One World Week 2016 from Saturday 23rd January to
Friday 29th January 2016!

Show
:
2016: Identity Crisis
Saturday January 23rd 2016
The Fashion Show is a celebration of international culture at Warwick
and one of the most anticipated and successful events of One World
Week. It encompasses the diversity of culture at Warwick through clothing and performance as well as the choreographed main models. It is a
chance for students to express their creativity through a visually-enticing
show, and for cultural and performance societies to come together and
showcase their traditions and talent alongside one another. It is enjoyed
by students, sponsors and University staff alike.
Identity Crisis explores people’s journey in society. It will be an out-
standing, breathtaking event which stimulates the personal development
of all students and strives to inspire them to accept who they are and
appreciate the world’s mosaic of cultures. The audience will bear witness
to a beautiful journey of colour, emotion and style. The show will consist
of four acts: Power, Fame, Money and Love. Each act will symbolize a
person’s transformation in the struggle to find their purpose in life. Various
cultural societies will be featured in the show: approximately 10 societies
are in each act according to what their outfit/concept will represent.
Venue: Butterworth Hall Time: 6:00pm -8:00pm
Standard: £10 VIP: £15
The Fashion Show After-Party
Join the Models, Societies & Clubs and celebrate in style. The annual
after-party is a guaranteed sell-out, taking place in the VIP area of Neon.
With over 400 people in attendance every year, it’s the staple event of the
New Year. What better way to kick off 2016?
Venue: Neon, Leamington Time: 10pm - Late
Standard: £6
Warwick’s Got Talent was inspired by Britain’s Got Talent, but with a twist.
This competition promises to bring the hype of a talent show to campus and
provides Warwick students with the opportunity to showcase their talents.
In addition to prizes for Overall Winner, Runner-Up and Most Unusual Talent,
we will also be collaborating with the Music Centre to offer a special prize for
the Best Traditional or Folksong Performance. Audiences, get ready to be
swept off your feet by the finalists!
A Generation of Vanished People
Date: Wednesday 27th January 2016 Time: 4 pm – 6 pm
Venue: Woods-Scawen
Forums
Throughout One World Week 2016, Forum will host three events, each
one exploring a different global issue. By presenting a panel of high profile speakers, Forum seeks to provide a range of perspectives on pressing
matters. The selected themes are ones which are currently of international interest. The opportunity to pose questions to the panel encourages
attendees to critically assess their opinions and, as a result, make more
informed decisions.
Demystifying the Orient
Date: Tuesday 26th January 2016 Time: 5 pm – 7 pm
Venue: IMC.002
Amongst nowadays’ most challenging geopolitical areas is indisputably
the Middle East. The region has been shaken by an incredible amount of
crises, and is still today in great turmoil, leaving political instability to often
be seen as a defining characteristic of the Middle East. Indeed, the list of
internal and external conflicts raging in the region is impressive: the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been the dominating dispute and a real puzzle
for diplomats, both from the East and the West; while the more recent
Iraq and Afghanistan wars have created additional tension in the region.
Being the most current crisis taking place in the region, this involves so
many actors, threats and challenges that it is fast-becoming the most urgent affair in international relations. Some experts are describing the civil
war going on in Syria, along with the rise of the Islamic State, as a potential precursor to World War III. While the media commonly focuses on the
repercussions on the Western world, this talk will address an important
question: what is the impact of this instability on the development of the
Middle East?
“Everyday, two Aylans”- this headline by a French newspaper makes
a statement that is revolting beyond words: on average, per day, two
children coming to seek safety in Europe with their family drown and are
washed up on the Greek or Turkish shores. Early September 2015, the
whole world was shocked by the photo of the young Aylan Kurdi, and a
wave of empathy was felt among social media and the press. Yet hundreds of refugees today still meet the same fate as Aylan, in complete
indifference and ignorance. While Hungary and other governments in
Europe are hostile to the idea of welcoming refugees, some, such as
Germany and Austria, took a step forward to make their lives a little more
bearable by offering them shelter, political asylum and jobs: giving them
the opportunity to start their lives over. This talk will try to understand the
global refugee crisis better and find out what are the potential implications that come with such a vast population being displaced.
Supranational Unions as a Stepping
Stone
Date: Thursday 28th January 2016 Time: 5 pm – 7 pm
Venue: Woods-Scawen
As the world is becoming increasingly interconnected today, the number
of supranational unions seems to be rising at a similar rate. While the
most representative example is often considered to be the European Union, which has not only achieved economic trade and intergovernmental
cooperation but also created a real political entity with international political elections, many other unions have followed the same path. Regional
cooperation and peace, economic exchanges and social progress have
been promoted as well, through organizations such as the ASEAN in
South East Asia. However, the legitimacy of these unions are often questioned and contested, and their future seems fragile: in the European Union, the Greek debt crisis has created tensions between major members,
while the United Kingdom’s exit is open to debate. This talk will address
issues of legitimacy and whether a future of integration and prosperity is
possible for supranational unions.
