'''One World Week''' (OWW) is the "''World’s Largest Student-run International Event''" hosted annually at the [[University of Warwick]].  The week consists of a variety of interactive celebrations in the separate four elements: Forum, Sports, Arts and Festival. It is an independent organisation, with an initiative that aims to stimulate personal development and inspire a view based on acceptance and appreciation of the world’s mosaic of cultures. The organisation also aims to promote cultural awareness and action on global issues which affect our world, while encouraging visitors to learn and appreciate more about the variety of cultures the world has to offer. This year, it is sponsored by [[Barclays Capital]], [[KPMG]], [[Deloitte]], [[Credit Suisse]], [[Domino's Pizza]], [[Bacardi]] and the Warwick Graduates Association. The sponsorship sources have caused controversy among the student population, given Barcalys Capital's extensive investments in the arms trade. The organisers of One World Week, though, have responded by highlighting the good that comes from the diverse and dynamic events they organise.
