Bournemouth University recently celebrated International Culture Day, a day dedicated to promoting
cultural diversity and fostering an inclusive community on campus.
The event, which took place on 28 April 2023, featured a variety of activities showcasing our
international students’ cultures and their home countries.
The day which aimed to celebrate diversity and cultural exchange was organized by Dr. Yumei Yang,
Principle Academic in Organizational Behavior’s & Human Resources Management, in collaboration with students from her programme framework. Throughout the day students and staff from the Bournemouth University Business School were able to unite and gain knowledge about diverse cultures.
With a focus on fostering a sense of community, students and staff from different cultural backgrounds
had the opportunity to sample dishes from countries such as India, Nigeria, China at the International
Food Fair. Visitors had the opportunity among others. The food fair not only offered a chance to taste delicious international cuisine prepared by students, but it also provided a platform for individuals to
share their cultural heritage and traditions.
Another highlight of the day was the Cultural Showcase, which included a series of performances from
various cultural groups. Students performed traditional dances, played musical instruments, and shared
stories about their cultural heritage. The showcase allowed the audience to experience and appreciate
different cultures and the talent and creativity of the students.
Bournemouth University aims to foster a welcoming atmosphere for students worldwide, encouraging
diversity and inclusivity within the campus.
