International Nights

During this exchange we have had the pleasure to attend three intercultural nights in which each country presented its own culture: gastronomy, traditions, music and dances.

In the first intercultural night Croatia, Poland and North Macedonia presented. Each country showed a nice presentation about their traditional festivities, landscapes and food; and had a well looking table with everything typical on it.

Croatia brought the typical meat of their country. They had three types of cold meat, as well as a person cutting it at that same moment.

Poland offered typical sausages, some candy, and showed common national soups.

On the other hand, North Macedonia presented rakia and loukoum. The alcoholic drink was the main attraction of the night as it was extremely strong.

The second international night was dedicated to Bulgaria, Latvia, Greece and Spain.

Bulgaria started presenting their country with a nice story and some traditional candies and chocolates.

Later, Latvia showed a powerpoint about the characteristics of their country: places, food, and traditions. On the table, they had fish toast and other food.

Greece offered a funny presentation explaining the mythological explanation of Athens and Thessaloniki (their cities). Later, we had the chance to try some tzatziki and other traditional meals.

To end, Spain divided their presentation in two parts: Spain and Mexico (as there was one Mexican participant). Spain prepared a geography game, in which the other countries had to point where their cities were located. They also presented an explanation about the country and offered typical cold meat, cheese, some sweets, and alcohol (rebujillo). In the Mexican part, they had nachos!

After the traditional dinner, we danced to some typical songs together. Every country showed us their festival dances.

On the other hand, two days later, Romania presented their country with a barbecue serving typical meat and drinks. We had a very fun night!
