International week - Day 1
There are various attractions at Cranfield MBA. This year too, we celebrate the cultural diversity in the MBA batch with a four day International week which culminates with a Party on coming Thursday.
Volunteers from 19 countries decided to present about their cultures. All the African country representatives - Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda, and others - chose to present a single show together. Over the past week, the diversity rep's were running around, making sure that each team of students were provided full support and help.
The evening began with Harry potter visiting Cranfield forum riding the broom stick - England & Scotland presented first, being the host country. With Tanya and Ian McDougall dressed in Scottish dresses and with Antonia and Marc speaking out dialogues from Macbeth, it was fun to hear about England / Scotland and know something about their culture.
Mattijas and his
wife Maria presented "how to make a great fondue" - using it as a theme to share information about Switzerland. And surprise, surprise. They had prepared Fondue for the entire audience for the tasters’ event after the presentations.
Mikahil Damrin and his wife Natalia presented on Russia, taking us on a virtual trip to their country, sharing certain do's and dont's whenever we visit Russia. Mikhail is organizing the Russian trip later this year in May 2005. As per last estimates, over 40 students have registered for this excursion trip and Mikhail is working on the modalities to ensure the best of trips for us students.
We had Italy next with Roberto and Mattia presenting their country and towns. They were quite innovative in using animated characters including Astrix - to share with us the history and culture of their native place.
The last one of the day was Marieke, who presented on - The Netherlands. Interestingly, she too is organizing a two-day trip to Netherlands later this year.
With tasters from these countries offered to all, the crowd thronged the counters to savour the unique dishes. It was great fun and a fantastic break from the studies routine.
