international night All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, all play and no work makes Jack a mere toy. Aside from the workshops, lectures, excursions, learning and working we also like to celebrate the fact that we’ve all come together. One of the biggest parties during a MEDS workshop is the International Evening. All participants bring typical food and drinks from their home countries. Once everything is prepared, tables are set up for each country and you can go from table to table tasting amazing foods and sipping drinks to get you in the mood for when International evening turns into International night!
