Global Fair (open to all)
Tuesday, October 1, 12.30 pm
Sala Basaglia, ground floor
This social and networking event will allow you to get to know different Venetian associations that offer leisure and sport options in the city. At the same time, it is an opportunity to introduce yourselves and the traditions of your own culture to your new classmates and professors. You can bring food and beverages, musical instruments, traditional dresses, games and anything you would like to share within our "small" international community.
You are invited to create groups together with your peers, and each will be assigned a "national desk" to represent its culture and traditions. You can submit your requests of participation or technical support registering at the Front Office (2A) by Monday, September 30 at 3 pm.
