The goal of the cultural festival is to celebrate culture together. It is to teach and learn more about other cultures to others.
It's the biggest cultural event in Leiden. It's all about sharing culture, diversity by offering food, drinks, games, performances and much more during the whole day.
Everyone can participate by signing up to reppresent their own Country, or whatever Country they like. When the teams are created, they will have to prepare something typical of the Nation they represent (food, drinks, games, etc.). During the festival there are many people that come and eat, drink and enjoy all the things that each team prepared. We also provide fun workshops and performances throughout the whole festival. By the end of the event, a team is announced as the winner team of the Cultural Festival (this is voted by the visitors of the festival). After the festival, we also organise an after-party where everybody can have fun together and celebrate a successful cultural day.
The result of the festival is a fun day where people come together to celebrate the diversity within the (Leiden student) community. People get to know more about other cultures and those who participate are provided a safe place to show thier traditions and customs to others without any judgement.
