Global Fair national desk request (open to all)
Tuesday, September 23, 12.15 pm
Sala Basaglia, ground floor
This social and networking event will allow you to get to know different Venetian associations that offer leisure and sport options in the city. At the same time, it is an opportunity to introduce yourselves and the traditions of your own culture to your new classmates and professors. You can bring food and beverages, music instruments, traditional dresses, games and anything you would like to share within our "small" international community.
You are invited to create groups together with your peers, and each will be assigned a "national desk" to represent its culture and traditions. You can submit your requests for a national desk and any technical support by registering at the Front Office by Wednesday, September 17 at 12 pm.
The full program of co-curricular activities is available at this link on the VIU website. Check it regularly for updates.
For more information, please refer to the VIU Front Office or to the Globalization Program Office.
