Suddenly, there are activities all over campus, the food is different, people are passing by but wearing different clothes\u2026 but you still wondering what\u2019s all the fuss about?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s all due to the biggest cultural event in town, the OWW! During a whole week, you can have a closer view of different cultures, with events happening every day all over campus! The One World Week is the perfect opportunity to celebrate diversity and the international feature of our university. And even if you were not able to join, here I will share with you the best moments and some insights into the backstage ?<\/p>\n

What was the OWW all about?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

This week focused on the immense\u00a0diversity that characterizes Wageningen. During seven days, students were invited to do an intercultural cooperation, sharing knowledge and experiences and having fun together with the entire community. So besides students, also WUR staff was present at the events!<\/p>\n

The One World Week is a great opportunity for all students who want to share their cultural traditions and festivities from their home country. In a nutshell, is the time to express how proud you are of\u00a0your roots and to spread the heritage of your homeland.<\/p>\n

Which activities were included in the programme?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The programme for this week is full of different events, from fashions shows to typical cultural parties and celebrations, as the Holi festival and African Party.<\/p>\n

The activities are scheduled during lunch, at the end of the afternoon and in the evening. During the week, most activities take place on Wageningen Campus or in Wageningen city center. Besides the cultural activities, is also possible to do sportive activities, such as representing your country in the Olympics.<\/p>\n

I was lucky to be part of the organizing team, so I will give you an overview of all the events but focus on the ones I was directly linked and liked the most. Hence, you can also have a closer look at behind the scenes \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
