Global CU: Neighbors Connecting Through Cultures and Stories

Explore the World Through Conversations and Fun!

Inspired by the Human Library®, have a conversation with international neighbors and celebrate the diverse origins of everyone in our community! Neighbors at this event will be sharing various aspects about their personal stories and heritage cultures. Adults and kids are welcome to learn about different countries’ culture, language, cuisine, and more!

Join us for this free event co-sponsored by the Mortenson Center for International Library Programs; Illinois International: Office of Global
Relations; Urbana Free Library; and New American Welcome Center, University YMCA as part of Welcoming Week 2026.
