On Monday, UNC's first official weeklong celebration of Middle Eastern culture and diversity began.

Middle East Week kicked off with a viewing of the Disney version of "Aladdin," followed by a discussion about stereotypes found in the movie.

The week's organizers said they hope students continue discussion throughout the week, learning about cultures they might not have much knowledge about.

"I think people tend to associate with people that have similar interests, backgrounds and experiences, and we need to be intentional in looking out for and learning from other people's experiences," said Terri Phoenix, director of the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer-identified Center.
