The event brought Erasmus students together for a traditional Iftar meal, offering them the opportunity to experience an important aspect of Turkish and Islamic culture. Hosted at a local restaurant, the evening began with a brief introduction to the significance of Ramadan and the traditions surrounding Iftar. As the call to prayer marked the time to break the fast, students enjoyed a spread of traditional dishes such as dates, soups, pide, meats, desserts like güllaç, and Turkish tea. The gathering fostered a sense of community, allowing students from different backgrounds to share in the experience, learn about each other's cultures, and engage in meaningful conversations.
