Through immersive workshops and collaborative activities, students explored new languages and cultures. As a result, they enjoyed a rich international experience.
Discovering Languages from an Early Age
First, kindergarten students travelled around the world through stories, multilingual songs, and calligraphy workshops.
In addition, parents joined the activities and shared their native languages and traditions. Thanks to these exchanges, children developed cultural curiosity from an early age.
Moreover, the experience highlighted the linguistic richness of the school community.
World Sports and Traditional Games
Next, secondary students explored traditional games and sports from different countries.
Activities included mahjong, mölkky, and awale. They also discovered hockey, fencing, and Senegalese wrestling.
As a result, students strengthened teamwork and cooperation. At the same time, they learned about cultures from around the world.
Fourteen Countries Represented by Student Ambassadors
In the afternoon, the campus became an international village.
Fourteen countries were represented by student ambassadors. Each booth featured cultural displays, interactive activities, and engaging presentations.
Visitors discovered new traditions, languages, and cultural heritage. In addition, they exchanged ideas directly with the students.
Furthermore, every participant received an LFIDD cultural passport. After each activity or quiz, they collected a special stamp created by students.
