Do you want to try delicious food and meet people from all around the world? In celebration of international education, join us for a potluck at The New School in Manhattan to kick-off spring the right & social way. Volunteers will be contributing dishes from their native countries and sharing stories about why they chose a particular dish and who they learned their secret recipe from. This exchange of cultures through food will be an amazing opportunity to make new friends and celebrate the season together.

 

All you need to do is come with a smile, an open mind and an empty stomach! The rest will be history. Maybe you will even leave feeling inspired to cook some of the international dishes you tried!

Have you ever seen the beautiful Manhattan skyline from Gantry Park? Would you like to try pizza from a popular neighborhood spot? Are you interested in a behind-the-scenes tour of a commercial print shop?

 

On April 20th, One To World is bringing a group of international students to Long Island City, Queens. We will go for a walk through Gantry Plaza State Park that has breathtaking views of lower Manhattan. Then we will enjoy a family-style lunch with a variety of wood fired brick oven pizzas from a popular neighborhood Italian restaurant called Manetta's.

 

After lunch, we will make our way to Volume Industries, a local commercial print shop with design, fabrication, millwork, installation and digital imaging capabilities. I encourage you to check out their interactive website for a more-detailed list of the types of work they do. This is a great opportunity to talk to local engineering & entrepreneurial professionals and see how they operate in a fast-paced production facility.

Join us for a day at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum! This memorial and museum commemorates the September 11 attacks of 2001, which killed 2,977 people, and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, which killed six. The memorial is located at the World Trade Center site, the former location of the Twin Towers that were destroyed during the attacks.

 

It is operated by a nonprofit institution whose mission is to remember and honor the victims of these attacks and all those who risked their lives to save others. While its a somber subject, this is a great opportunity to learn about the resiliency of the NYC community and how this moment shaped the modern history of your adopted home, while paying homage to the victims and their families.

 

Led by a tour guide, you will hear an introduction about the Memorial Plaza and participate in a private tour of the Museum on the inside. A ticket for this program normally would cost $80, but you have the exclusive opportunity to join us on this group visit for the low price of $30! After the tour, you will be free to self-guide and explore other exhibitions.

Want to help clean up a park? As the weather improves, this is a great opportunity to spend a day in the sun, make new friends and help the local community. Join other international students and New Yorkers at Fort Tryon Park in improving the park's ecology. It is incredibly important to keep New York City's nature healthy and beautiful.

 

We'll be doing some light gardening activities, including removing debris and invasive plant species, weeding, mulching and planting. Gardening tools and gloves will be provided. Just wear sturdy shoes, long pants and clothes you are comfortable getting dirty. Don't forget to bring water!
