Each booth not only showcased distinctive cultural identities but also shared authentic stories about people, daily life, and traditions from different countries. These experiences helped students realize that while the world is vast, it is also deeply connected. The event also provided opportunities for students to practice communication skills, adaptability, and openness, all of which are essential qualities of global citizens in today’s interconnected world.
