Global Day 2025 – Celebrating Unity and Peace

The American University in the Emirates (AUE) proudly hosted Global Day 2025 on February 18, transforming the campus into a vibrant celebration of cultures, traditions, and global harmony. Held under the theme “Unity and Peace,” this year’s event brought together students representing 14 countries, each contributing to a colorful and dynamic showcase of heritage and pride.

The main stage was the heart of the evening, with over 15 captivating performances, including two large-scale shows with more than 25 students each. From energetic dances to traditional music and theatrical pieces, every country brought its own magic to the stage. The night reached its emotional peak with the Final Grand Show, where all 14 country representatives formed a circle, proudly holding their national flags—an iconic moment symbolizing unity and coexistence.

AUE Green Area came alive with music, flavors, performances, and stories from around the world. The event featured beautifully decorated cultural tents where guests could enjoy traditional food and drinks, browse cultural artifacts, participate in Q&A games, and snap photos in immersive, themed photo booths.

A special highlight of the event was the announcement of the winner of the cultural competition—Palestine, whose outstanding tent presentation and powerful performance deeply moved the audience and judges alike. Their display of tradition, passion, and resilience earned them the top honor of the evening, marking a proud moment for the Palestinian student community at AUE.

The Emirati booth also stood out as a cultural gem, offering a rich and immersive experience that highlighted the depth and beauty of the UAE’s heritage. Featuring traditional décor and interactive elements.

Global Day 2025 was not just a celebration—it was a statement of who we are as a university: diverse, inclusive, and united. It brought students together not just to share their cultures, but to connect, learn, and build lasting memories in the spirit of peace.
