Again I am trying to connect with students' associations to organize an event together to promote our UQ student culture diversity through common activities as proposed in the project activities. I checked the students' associations on the site and I guess there are about at least 15 associations of different countries in the world. And I know some associations they have had great gather with their mems and play music, cook food, ext.. as far as I know that is Vietnamese and Indonesian ones. Other associations they organized events of different forms but I have not had a chance to join. But I think it would be great if we can somehow link all together in some common activities so that we have chance to learn from students coming from different countries and culture background and that should be fun. So I sent all students' associations that have linked with UQ Union through UQ Union website (below I pasted the email for your reference). However, after a week patient waiting I have not got any feedback from them yet, so I guess there is something wrong with the function of the web that somehow does not allow my email to reach them, or maybe they are just not interested in my proposal or just too busy to reply and call for their mems attention during this hard time of the semester.
Time is so rush and I think I will try to reach them by their emails but have to find out their email addresses first. Anyone volunteer or interested in this sort of connecting activities with students' associations, please let me know by posting a comment below or sending me an email, so that we can work out it together.

Dear Representatives of Clubs and Societies,
May I introduce my name is Phuong, a current UQ posgraduates from social science school and am currently conducting a project aiming at improving interconnections among UQ postgraduates, dedicated to a course namely Community Planning, Engagement and Governance (you can find more information about the project at the web address http://uqinterconnections.blogspot.com/p/about-project_17.html). Building interconnections creates chance to learn about other cultures and to work with different people and is also a way to promote culture diversity. My belief is that students' associations and clubs are the best places for UQ students to enrich their student life both in the campus and outside the campus. There are supporting services provide great opportunities for networking and socializing and there are needs of networking and supporting each other, however, still there not as many students know where to seek supports and how to network with other students as they should. I am wondering if all students' associations and clubs can somehow linked together to promote ourselves, and create a chance for postgraduates to change from stressful studying to joyful and effective studying and living. It would be great to have a chance to network with students studying different courses. Therefore, today I am writing to you to call for your cooperation in organizing an event aiming at networking and culture exchange for postgraduates. My initial suggestions would be that we organize an outdoor gather and invite students from your associations to join and perform music, facilitate games and bring food dishes to share. If you are interested in this networking, we can discuss further activities and how to organize the event.
I am looking forwards to your responses
Warm regards,
Phuong
