The Intercultural Festival took place at the CEU Residence Center on January 24.

At the annual Intercultural Festival on January 24, students from all CEU departments shared their respective cultures through discussion, live performances, and food. This year’s festival was a big success with 39 countries represented, 10 performances, and over 120 dishes served.

SPP students Luis Cano (MPA '15), Tamilla Dauletbayeva (MPA '15), and a fellow student share Venezuelan culture with the CEU community.

SPP students played an active part in the celebration, sharing traditions from India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Malaysia, Pakistan, Thailand, Turkmenistan, the U.S., Venezuela, Vietnam, Zimbabwe, and “Romaland.”

SPP students Shreya Bhattacharya (MPA '16), Shaileshwori Sharma (MPA '16), and Saman Sardar (MPA '16) perform at the Intercultural Festival.

“The slogan of the festival was ‘One World,’” explained Luis Cano (MPA ’15), one of the festival organizers. “We wanted to emphasize the importance of culture, but also the need to transcend national identities.”

SPP student Bashir Ahmad (MPA '15) shares Pakistani culture with fellow students.
