*"Last 29 July 2011, students of FLC Spanish watched a presentation about Colombia sponsored by the AOISA (Alpha and Omega International Student & Professsional Association, an organization working for the promotion of world peace) in cooperation with the Department of Modern Languages of the School of Humanities...
As a starter, Mr. Miguel Jurado, Colombian representative from AOISA, gave an overview of Colombia’s history, people and culture and then elaborated on the young artists’ modern design, illustration and animation which are deeply rooted on the ancient art of the Incas, the Quisllasingas, the Taironas, Tumacos, etc.
The colorful and metaphorical graphic presentation complimented by the lively indigenous music played by Miguel’s sister, Ms. Alejandra Jurado, a charming pianist exemplar, was truly an impressive and exhilarating experience."
