participants
The goal of this activity is cultural exchange and socialization.
We organised this event to provide a cultural exchange to the incoming students. The participants were supposed to cook/bake a meal typical for their country and bring it to the event (prepared meal served as an entrance ticket). They could have prepared their meal on their own, but also in a team - representing their country together with other exchange students. Therefore, they needed to use their cooking skills as well as to show good teamwork.
After that, students had the opportunity to try meals from different countries and to promote their country and traditional meals to others. Part of the event was also a competition for a country with the best meal, for which students could vote themselves.
Our section also provided them with many traditional Czech meals, snacks and sweets to introduce them to the culture of the country they were going to spend their exchange.
The students were very active not only bringing a lot of food, but also during the dinner. They were trying to combine meals and ingredients from different countries making it an interesting culture fusion and collaboration.
