As part of the Global Virtual Exchange (GVE) project, which connects Yarmouk University with Shenandoah University in Virginia, USA, the Department of English at Yarmouk University, in collaboration with the International Relations and Projects Directorate, organized the American Cultural Day event.

In her welcoming remarks, Dr. Sawsan Al-Daraisa, the project director at the university, highlighted the importance of the Global Virtual Exchange project now in its second year in enhancing the skills of participating students and preparing them for professional futures in an interconnected world.

She explained that the project links Yarmouk University students with their American counterparts throughout the semester through the Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) model. Through joint groups, students receive training and develop their abilities in English language skills, teamwork, academic collaboration, critical thinking, and leadership, under the supervision of faculty members from both universities and the support of specialized mentors and trainers.

The event featured a series of presentations showcasing American traditions, values, volunteer work, and cultural and artistic aspects, reflecting the spirit of cultural exchange.

The event was attended by the Vice Dean of the Faculty of Arts, Dr. Oqab Al-Shawashreh, along with several faculty members, administrative staff, project mentors, American researchers, and a group of students.
