Under the patronage of Prof. Lamia Hammad, the Director of the Language Center at Yarmouk University, the Arabic Language Program for Non-Arabic Speakers organized a cultural event in celebration of the World Day for Cultural Diversity, adopted by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

Prof. Hammad explained that the celebration is to highlight the values of cultural diversity and its principles of understanding, acceptance, and respect of others and that it contributes to raising the awareness of multiculturalism and building bridges of communication among the individuals of different cultures. She also pointed out that the Arabic language program for non-Arabic speakers embodies the essence of brotherhood and harmony among students from different countries and cultures.

However, the program of the celebration included a variety of artistic performances, during which the Malaysian students performed a traditional song from their country, followed by a Chinese student song, then a Turkish track, another Spanish song, a Greek song, and a Spanish flamenco dance. It included also a table of traditional food and sweets representing the cultures of the program's students who are coming from Turkey, Spain, China, Malaysia, Korea, America, Brazil, Germany, Russia, Australia, France and Canada.

This ceremony was attended by the Deputy Director of the Center Dr. Ahmed Saifan, the assistant director of the Center for Arabic Language for non-Arabic speakers, Dr. Hala Al-Hamad, and several professors and administrators.
