The event was a celebration of the different nationalities represented at RNC. They set up tables adorned with artifacts and traditional foods prepared by their families and wore traditional dress. Some of the countries represented included Turkey, Iran, Italy, Pakistan, Ukraine, Wales, Scotland, and Nepal.

One of the highlights of the evening was a tactile map where students were invited to drop a pin indicating their origin. So far, 20 different pins have been placed on the map, symbolising the global reach of RNC’s community.

To further enrich the cultural experience, the students organised an international quiz. The event also featured traditional music performances, including a captivating saz performance by Meyrem.

Working together to plan, prepare and host the event, the group displayed outstanding teamwork, while also gaining valuable practical experience that will undoubtedly benefit them in the future.

This event not only celebrated diversity but also fostered a sense of community and understanding among the students. RNC is proud of its students for organising such a memorable event and looks forward to more cultural activities in the future.
