In Limerick, there are over 25,000 higher education students during the academic year with a vibrant international student population representing over 100 countries from around the world that makes up 10 percent of the student body. The event harnessed the creativity, energy and growing potential of the student population, and recognized and embraced the diversity of Limerick.

The showcase was the first of its kind, reaching over 600 spectators in Limerick city central. Global Peace Foundation Ireland and partners hope to make the student cultural showcase an annual event that fosters multicultural exchange and cooperation.
