The Islamic Awareness Week (IAW), is an annual event held by Islamic Societies (ISOC) in most universities throughout the world coordinated by their umbrella organisation. In Ireland, it is Federation of Students Islamic Society (FOSIS).
In Dublin this year, 5 ISOCs (Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, Trinity College Dublin, University College Dublin, Dublin College University and Dublin Institute of Technology join together in one IAW and it was held from the 6th until 27th February 2009. The theme chosen- 'We Belong Together' reflects the vision of the organizers to be able to be the forefront force for a unified society particularly in Ireland so that we may all live in peace and harmony despite of our religion, ethnicities and morale.
Among the activities held during IAW are Halal Food Fest, Hijab Fashion Show, Sports League, talks, charity bazaar, Quran recitation, video and photoshop class, competition and others. The IAW has also been a very fertile avenue for Islamic Societies to collect fund in support of the ongoing 'Humanitarian Fund For Gaza.'
For the very first time, this year, the IAW is having a Grand Dinner for its closing ceremony. The theme for this year's Grand Dinner is 'Humanity and Peace', which embodies a powerful message in conveying an understanding of a common ground between Muslims and non-Muslims in our society.
It is hoped that the Grand Dinner will be able to mark the grand finale of the IAW, as well as instilling awareness and to give understanding among members of the society about Islam generally and about muslim students society throughout Ireland specifically. In addition to that, we would like to rejoice in the last day of yet another term for the 48th FOSIS Ireland Committee (which will be having their AGM the next day) and reflect what have been done throughout this term.
So come one, come all, this will be a night to remember!
Proceeds from this dinner will go to Gaza.
