[September 10 – 21 is Global Austin’s WELCOMING WEEK – a series of events throughout Austin that highlights the contributions of international visitors and immigrants to the community. These events will bring together foreign- and U.S.-born community members in a spirit of unity.
Welcoming Week, coincidentally, coincides with Peace Day Austin (9/11-9/21). Because the missions and interests of Global Austin and Peace Day Austin are comparable, several local organizations have come together to facilitate a city-wide celebration of the diversity that is Austin and the International Day of Peace. We are many organizations – with many activities and events.]
