International Student Festival

Every year on November 17th, university students around the globe celebrate International Students’ Day. Also referred to as World Students’ Day or International Student Day, this holiday dates back to 1946. In Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, student representatives from various countries convened for a landmark global student conference. During this conference, they unanimously agreed to establish November 17th as “World Students’ Day” to foster solidarity and camaraderie among university students worldwide.

This observance has deep historical roots filled with humanistic values. In those times when the world had just emerged from a catastrophic global conflict, students—being one of society’s most vibrant and thoughtful groups—vehemently condemned war’s destruction and injustices while advocating for peace. The day commemorates those efforts by past generations who fought against oppression for freedom and democracy while continuing today’s advocacy for universal values such as peaceable coexistence; democratic governance; liberty; progressive advancement within our current collegiate community.
