Fun, knowledge, barbecue. That is how we could describe the Friday evening. Groups of different nationalities presented what is worth seeing in their homeland, who are the important personalities in fields of culture, politics or science, what are the typical dishes and drinks one should taste and what folk songs, dance and traditions have been handed down through generations in their country. Thanks to this event we had a unique chance to find out what drumbľa means (Slovak musical instrument). Who discovered the vitamin C in paprika and won the Nobel prize (Hungarian Albert Szent-Györgyi). Which European country is the birthplace of the most top models (Latvia). Taste the well-known Polish krowky. Or listen to Ukrainian music performed by VSS participants.
