Military Students at Rwanda Command and Staff College (CSC) are exhibiting home cultures in Musanze as a way of fostering intercultural dynamisms among participants.

“Understanding the relationship between national traditions, cultures and values with security has become a fundamental variable in understanding and solving strategic security challenges,” a communiqué from the RDF Command and Staff College reads.

It is from the above framework that Rwanda Command and Staff College organizes a cultural day every year for its students from all the corners of the world to become “full conversant with the importance of culture in strategic studies”.
