International Evening Surprises with a New Concept

Instead of stage presentations, 17 country booths await visitors this time. At these booths, international students from Hochschule Offenburg will introduce their home countries. Among other things, there will be information on culture and traditions, festive decorations, and traditional cuisine from Bangladesh, Brazil, Costa Rica, Germany, Egypt, France, Hungary, India, Iran, Kenya, Malaysia, Mexico, Mongolia, North Macedonia, Pakistan, Poland, and Sri Lanka.

Visiting guests can walk from booth to booth, chat with the students, and sample the various dishes. To cover the cost of the food, there is a two-euro admission fee; drinks will be sold at reasonable prices. Visitors should bring their own plates and cutlery, though these can also be rented for a small fee.

Since some of the international students will be wearing traditional clothing from their home countries, it promises to be an exciting, colorful, and entertaining evening where everyone in attendance can experience a taste of the world. Another highlight of the event will be the presentation of this year’s DAAD Award at around 8:00 p.m. The award recognizes not only outstanding academic achievements but also exceptional social, community, or campus-related involvement by a student from abroad. In addition, there will be a small raffle with attractive prizes to be won. To participate, attendees must answer quiz questions at the various country booths. The winners will be announced following the DAAD award ceremony. The event begins on Thursday, November 19, at 6:00 p.m. and is scheduled to end at 9:00 p.m.
