Wearing boxing clubs to eat bitterballen

Visitors to the Connect with my Culture event last Wednesday were able to participate in and watch some of the oddest activities. Held in the Student Sports Center, the event included such wackiness as acroyoga, painting a Van Gogh, eating bitterballen whilst wearing boxing gloves, and playing hopscotch in clogs. There were also regional snacks to try, and visitors could do a quiz to test their knowledge.

Visitors were able to sample a whole host of countries at the Connect with my Culture event, at which students and employees displayed something from their home countries, often something edible.

Despina Stefanoska, one of the organizers, looks back with satisfaction on the event. “The stands were busy and visitors were able to fill their passports by doing all kinds of activities and tasting a variety of snacks. We hope we can turn this into a regular event!”

Our video reporter Collin Wagenmakers asked visitors and participants about the 'craziest habits' they have back home. Intrigued to know what they said? Watch the clip below.
