The event, was a celebration of Easter and diverse cultures and traditions. Here’s a glimpse of what went down:

Egg Decorating Workshop: Participants got creative with their egg-painting skills, turning simple eggs into colorful masterpieces! 

Egg Hunt: The campus was abuzz with excitement as everyone joined in the egg hunt.

Egg-and-Spoon Race: Picture this: participants racing with an egg balanced on a spoon, eyes closed! Hilarity ensued.

Easter Quiz (Kahoot): Test of knowledge of Easter traditions and folklore! Who knew bunnies and eggs could be so fascinating? 

Easter Traditions Showcase: Each participant prepared a dish representing their home country or region. From Polish pierogi to Indian sweets, the spread was a delightful fusion of flavors! 

The goal? To create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, foster friendships, and learn about each other’s rich cultural heritage. 

Remember, it’s not just about Easter—it’s about the connections we make!
