STC Nsukka Organizes her Cultural Week 2020
Every society is guided by unique values, customs and traditions. These unique characteristics generally form the culture of a group of people.
Culture, they say, is all of a group’s guiding values and the outward signs and symbols taken together as one big whole. In Africa, traditions and culture are given their deserved esteem. A typical African is proud of his rich cultural heritage.
At STC, we have set aside Cultural Week to celebrate our culture.
STC Nsukka, being a multi-cultural and multinational institution, she will be celebrating the grand finale of her Cultural Week on Friday 21 February, 2020. The event will see staff, students, old boys and parents put up displays of the rich cultural ethos of Africa.
