Hungary
participants
The goal of the activity was to bring together students from all over the world and they could show what their culture means to them and let others have a glimpse into it!
Many students brought some culinary delights, yet some brought presentations of their region, dances or teaching their languages to each other!
The activity was implemented on the afternoon on 2026.02.05. starting from 16:00 when the registration opened and students could register already and bring their food to their tables indicated by small and medium-sized flags of their representing country. The participants arrived and cultural exchange began. The tables were filled with food and some people brought drinks too. Bubble tea was served by the volunteers and some cultural quiz games of Hungary were also played by the interested students. Hungarian folk dance teaching was from 18:00 to 18:30 and after that Turkish, Bulgarian, Serbian dances were also taught to the audience by the volunteers.
After the dishes were gone and everyone talked a lot, people packed up their things and left around 20:30.
Outcomes
Many more students attended the event than we expected, it to be and we could still accommodate them. We had a great system for registering the students, which helped us greatly during the documentation.
Many students brought their own culture, representing it with either a food, sweets, main courses, or drinks (mainly non-alcoholic). This was above expectations.
Some participant went even beyond their limits and started to randomly organise teaching their language, dances, etc. Which, for us, meant that they did enjoy the environment, and it supported their involvement even after arriving only days before.
We were able to also bring a projector and canvas, and found a cheap solution to renting out a sound system to give us enough volume for the dance performances.
The atmosphere of the event brought together many students and made them connect, which is especially valuable in the first few weeks after their arrival.
