####Refugee Week at NYUSH
From April 11 to 14, NYU Shanghai hosted its first Refugee Awareness Week. It was arranged by the NYU Shanghai chapter of the No Lost Generation initiative, led by Yaman Maarrawi, class of 2020. Discussions on the global refugee crisis and immigration were held by the Philosophy Club and NYUSH Model United Nations, with documentaries being screened throughout the week to highlight the issues refugees face today.
####Trash Fashion Show Takes Shanghai
On April 16, the
Trash Fashion Show was held at the Himalayas Museum. With press, students and staff in attendance, student designers showed off their work on the catwalk. The outfits were made from recycled materials, using objects that are typically seen as garbage. The Trash Fashion Show was held in collaboration with the
Shanghai Project, an ideas platform to discuss and promote sustainability.
