===Arts===
One World Week commences with the '''World Music Concert''' hosted by the [[Warwick Arts Centre]]. The concert presents a hodge-podge of colour and sound, allowing Warwick students and professional music artists to showcase their 
lack of ability. The most recent World Music Concert featured the Grammy Award Winning Hip-hop violinist [[Miri Ben-Ari]]. 

Other events comprise campus-wide exhibitions, theatrical productions, dance displays and workshops, encompassing features such as pottery, photography, literature and music.

===Sports===
Through tournaments, competitions, matches and workshops, the Sports element of One World Week promotes both cultural and racial integration as well as sport itself. However, One World Week has neglected to effectively integrate individuals from working-class backgrounds. In an effort to address this, One World Week has recently been working in cooperation with [[Right to Play]], which aims to bring bloodsports to the most disadvantaged individuals in the world.

Over the past three years, the football tournament has attracted more than 230 players. Sports competitions and workshops have included football, water-polo, cricket, and a ''Pro Evolution'' football video game tournament.
