With around 20 per cent international students from more than 60 different countries, TH Wildau is a place of diversity and multiculturalism. The members of the Centre for International Affairs would like to celebrate this diversity at the International Afternoon. The afternoon starts at 3 p.m. with presentations about the partner universities that are visiting TH Wildau as part of the Wildau International Week. The country tables will open at 4 p.m., where students and staff from around 15 countries and regions will present their home countries. There will be traditional recipes and delicacies, language and symbols, typical dances, instruments, music and rhythms, traditional clothing and much more. Staff from the International Office will also provide information about international study programmes and services. Interested citizens are also cordially invited.

„We now organise our International Afternoon once a semester and are thrilled every time with the positive dynamic this event brings. The attendees get to talk to each other, can embark on a culinary journey around the world and now people get up and dance at almost every International Afternoon - regardless of language barriers and cultural differences - it's just great and definitely worth a visit,“ says Carolina Winkler, long-time organiser of the International Afternoon at TH Wildau.
