The world's most prestigious international education fair, #NAFSA2026, has kicked off in Orlando — and the opening keynote set the stage on fire! As Bezmialem Vakıf University, we participated in the fair alongside many other universities from our country. 🎶 Music knows no borders! 🌍 Leila Cobo — journalist of Lebanese roots, born in Colombia, raised in the USA — took the stage with a powerful talk on "The Power of Music" and delivered a striking message to a polarized world: 🎤 She traced the global rise of Latin music through icons like Shakira and Bad Bunny, analyzing its deep cultural and economic impact. 🤝 She explored how international education and cultural exchange shape individual identity in profound ways. 🕊️ She reminded us that art is not a force of division — it is one of the most powerful tools for building human connection. 🌐 She argued that authentic local voices can achieve global resonance, and that differences can find common ground through the arts. 💡 Her call to educators and artists: "In difficult times, never compromise on excellence or on what unites us!" Music is not merely entertainment — it is a spiritual force that strengthens national representation and nourishes collective joy. 🎵 At the fair, we also had the opportunity to meet with rectors from various universities across our country. #NAFSA2026 #LeilaCobo Dünyanın en prestijli uluslararası eğitim fuarı #NAFSA2026 Orlando'da başladı ve açılış keynote konuşmasıyla sahneyi adeta ateşe verdi! Bezmialem Vakıf üniversitesi olarak katıldığımız fuarda ülkemizden birçok üniversite de yer aldı. 🎶 Müzik sınır tanımaz! 🌍 Aslen Lübnanlı, Kolombiya doğumlu, ABD'de büyümüş gazeteci & müzik dünyasının güçlü ismi Leila Cobo, "Müziğin Gücü" temasıyla kutuplaşan dünyaya çarpıcı bir mesaj verdi: 🎤 Shakira ve Bad Bunny'den yola çıkarak Latin müziğinin küresel yükselişini kültürel ve ekonomik boyutlarıyla masaya yatırdı. 🤝 Uluslararası eğitimin ve kültürel alışverişin bireysel kimliği nasıl şekillendirdiğine değindi. 🕊️ Sanatın, ayrışmanın değil; insani bağ kurmanın en güçlü aracı olduğunu hatırlattı. 🌐 Yerel özgünlüğün küresel yankı bulabileceğini; farklılıkların sanatta ortak zemin bulduğunu savundu. 💡 Eğitimcilere ve sanatçılara tarihi bir çağrıda bulundu: "Zor zamanlarda mükemmeliyetten taviz vermeyin!" Müzik yalnızca bir eğlence değil; ulusal temsili güçlendiren, toplumsal neşeyi besleyen manevi bir güçtür. 🎵 Ayrıca Fuarda ülkemizin değişik üniversite rektörleri ile de görüşme imkanı bulduk. #NAFSA2026 #LeilaCobo
