Welcome to
The Middle Eastern Cultural Programs
“where traditions, stories, colors, and flavors come together
to make you feel right at home, no matter where you’re from.”
Middle Eastern dance is a lively celebration of culture, joy, and storytelling—rooted in centuries of rich traditions and communal spirit.
“We invite you to experience the warmth, beauty, and community of Middle Eastern culture—where everyone is family, and you’re always at home.”
The Middle Eastern Cultural Programs (MECP) celebrate and educate about the diverse cultures of the Middle East while supporting student growth and inclusion. MECP fosters community, raises awareness, and serves as a key resource for Middle Eastern identities at UConn.
