‘USEFP’s Got Talent’: Self expression through art and music showcased

USEFP celebrates 16th International Education Week

ISLAMABAD: In celebration of the 16th International Education Week, the EducationUSA centre at the United States Educational Foundation in Pakistan (USEFP) organised a series of spectacular events for Pakistani students. International Education Week is an opportunity to promote and celebrate the benefits of international education and cultural exchange. Started as a joint initiative between the US Department of State and US Department of Education, International Education Week promotes global learning programs and encourages future leaders to study, learn, and exchange experiences in the US.

USEFP continued its efforts to encourage self-expression through art and music. The grand finale of last year’s most popular event ‘USEFP’s Got Talent’ was held at Bahria University.  Islamabad’s talented youth enraptured a packed auditorium with their singing, dancing, and acting skills. The performances were judged by a panel of celebrity judges and the winners received tablets and gift vouchers. USEFP’s Got Talent was held in partnership with City FM89.

“USEFP’s talent showcase shows that while education is serious business, it is also fun. International Education Week is a great opportunity to underscore our commitment to education.

The US Embassy is proud to continue to support educational exchange programs here in Pakistan – for high school students, college students, and post-graduates. We would like more Pakistani students to study in the United States,” said Christina Tomlinson, counsellor for public affairs.
