Goal of the Activity

Fostering cultural exchange and create a sense of community by bringing together Erasmus students from diverse countries to share their traditional foods, drinks, and snacks. This unique gathering provides an opportunity for participants to learn about different cultures in an interactive and enjoyable way. As part of the event, ESN ITU prepares a selection of traditional Turkish dishes to showcase the richness of Turkish cuisine and promote cultural understanding on an international level. Additionally, the event features an in-depth presentation covering the Turkish language, traditions, lifestyle, and fun facts, ensuring that Erasmus students gain valuable knowledge about Türkiye early in the semester. By combining cultural exploration with a shared meal, "EuroDinner" helps strengthen cross-cultural connections and enhances the students' overall exchange experience.
