Best day of the Year - Do not miss it!

The International Day is a yearly event, with a food fair, an exhibition of artifacts  followed by a Performance Night with poetry, music, dance and more from all over the world. Last year 36 countries were represented in this celebration of our diversity !  You have never seen anything like it...!

To get an impression see 2010 pics here ,  2011 pics here and here is a video

At 16.00 hrs we will have a exhibition of artifacts in the corridors on the first floor, so we need you to bring traditional clothes, posters, artifacts, anything that you would like to put on display.

Then at 18.00 hrs: Food Fair ! The idea is, that people can sample food from various regions and countries. This will be held in the ATRIUM . There will be stalls from which we can serve the food . We are looking into the suggestion of making the food fair a charity event... more information will follow

Then at 20.00 hrs, after we have cleared the tables and moved them out of the way: Performance Night !

Imagine traditional dances and songs by performers, some more confident than others, from over 30 different countries, some with audience participation, making it hard to see where the stage begins and ends…
