International Day 2024 - Review
The University of Bremen invited visitors to the International Day in the Glass Hall on 27 June. Under the slogan "Herbs and spices from around the world", around 300 visitors were able to taste the Uni Curry Dip from Bremer Gewürzhandel and take part in hands-on activities such as filling lavender eye cushions and testing natural cosmetics recipes. The henna tattoos and Arabic teas were particularly popular again this year. The international communities also took part with songs and an exhibition of international breads. The day was accompanied musically by dance performances by Sisriksha and a performance by the Stimmer band.
