International Festival/Annual Conferences
For the past 23 years, International House Davis has hosted an educational-cultural program focusing on a particular country, world region or theme. In recent years, I-House has featured the Horn of Africa (2004), the Caribbean (2005), China (2006), Brazil (2007), Egypt (2008), and "International Fun Food Fest" (2009). After a year's hiatus, I-House plans a major reconfiguration in 2011 of this annual program, beginning with renaming it the International Festival. Subtitled "Unity in Diversity," the festival is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, October 1, 2011. Watch for frequent website updates as the planning process unfolds!
