MUPA Cultural Night aims to foster a sense of unity and inclusiveness for our international postgraduates from diverse backgrounds. The event, which was held on 10 May 2024, was filled with fun and excitement. Dressed in traditional attires representing their home countries, participants were welcomed with tote bags, specially designed by the International Student Representatives. The evening featured amazing performances by Sadia Azmin Anisha and Sagnik Nag from the School of Medicine, Amrita Muralikrishnan from the School of Pharmacy, and Daud Khan from the School of Engineering. Everyone had a blast playing the “Pass the Pillow” game, and enjoyed a delicious spread of Western buffet dinner. To top it all off, we wrapped up the night with a lively trivia quiz that had everyone laughing and competing in good spirits. Afnan Ahmed from the School of Engineering and Sashini de Silva from the School of Medicine were awarded as best dressed male and female respectively. These sharing and experiencing of various cultural traditions through food, music, dance, and other performances and games, promotes mutual understanding and respect for diversity. We look forward to the next fun and colourful celebration of cultural exchange.
