'Cultural Carnival' celebrates 果冻影院's diverse community
6 March 2003
The 果冻影院 community came together in February 2003 to celebrate its cultural diversity.
Morris dancing workshops and Carribean food tastings were some of
the colourful activities that illustrated 果冻影院's multiplicity.
There are almost 6,000 international students from more than 145 countries studying at 果冻影院, contributing to a diverse cultural mix. 果冻影院 Union's annual 'Cultural Carnival' celebrated that diversity with a week of events including a food fayre, craft fayre, fashion show and talent showcase.
Underlying the celebration as always was a serious anti-racism message, supported by a world religion poster exhibition in the Cloisters.
The 'Cultural Carnival', now in its seventh year, is the largest and best supported of 果冻影院 Union's awareness weeks. Students are encouraged to experience first hand some of the traditions that contribute to the 果冻影院 community; ranging from origami workshops to displays of antique Japanese kimonos and live gospel singing.
Ms Angi Bhol茅, 果冻影院 Union's Services & Events Officer, explained: "The aim of the week is to bring a carnival atmosphere to 果冻影院, while fostering a sense of pride and mutual respect in our mixed multicultural community."
