General Description

OIST has a unique international community with people coming from all over the world. We are surrounded by so many different cultures that enrich our experience and help us grow not only as scientists, but more importantly as human beings. Via Cultural Event Series we want to boost everyone’s experience by giving OISTers the opportunity to share their culture with the community and the community members to learn about a variety of cultures.  

Each Event will feature a single culture presented by their natives. By participating, you will be able to immerse yourself for 2 hours and learn about various aspects of people’s roots/culture of origin. We will learn about nature, language, culture, customs, superstitions, traditional clothing, history, pop culture, music, dance, and more! Every event, like every culture, is going to be unique, but equally interesting! 

Would you like to share your culture with other OISTers? Please fill out the 2-minute APPLICATION FORM and we will contact you. 

Organizers: An-Katrien Hulsbosch, Florian Pflug, Henrique Oyama, Izabela Stefania Mihai, Joanna Komorowska-Mueller,  

This event is supported by the ORC Council and Peer Supporters.
