Cultural Connection Day CCD25
In the presence of the Chancellor Dr. Scheuer Gyula, and several embassadors, the Rector Prof. Dr. Borhy László greeted the exhibitors, the performers of CCD25 as well as the participants.
In the opening ceremony, the hosts surprised the Rector with a birthday celebration and a typical Mexican piñata filled with birthday wishes written in more than 10 languages.
The Cultural Connection Day in its second edition "Endlessly United" created a global experience on one campus by gathering exhibitors and performers from all around the world for this intercultural experience that the International Student Advisory Committee ISAC and the university level student union EHÖK have brought on campus, in collaboration with the International Strategy Office and with the support of the Chancelorate and the Rectorate.
More than 25 countries were represented by student organisations and student associations, 21 embassies and 10 NGOs and offices of ELTE aiming at intercultural exchanges were present.
The participants have enjoyed different musical pieces and dance performances from the Treffortissimo Choir at the Institute of Arts Communication and Music, from Algeria, India, Thailand, Mongolia, HÖOK Mentor Factor singers, Indonesia, Ecuador, Iran, Philippines, and of course, Hungary.
ELTE students and staff members, as well as guests from other universities got the chance to roam around the Gömb Aula at the Lágymánosi Campus to discover the poster exhibition by the Embassy of Belgium and the Embassy of Brazil. This is not all, participants were able to walk around and interact with more than 35 exhibitors, taste local food, get their names written in several languages, learning different folk dances, and many more experiences. Displays from all over world showcased the rich culture we have on campus, a Saudi Arabian tent was pulled up at the entrance of the building, and two falcons were its guests, different folk clothes got worn by participants at the Indonesian and Thai booths, with smiles all over the place. Also, students got the chance to collect a passport that took them to all the countries, and organisations, and got signatures allowing them to enter a raffle for 10 different prizes.
Throughout the day, 2 workshops were held, an outdoor Yoga session under the sunshine of April with (Amrita Sher-Gil Cultural Centre, Embassy of India) and an indoor intercultural workshop with an ELTE lecturer Dr. Pohl Uwe.
The event continued with a night programme at Astoria Campus in Treffort Kert and Könyvtár Klub featuring a culture Pub quiz, and an open mic.
