International Exhibition Week

By Neroshinni Balachandran

Pocket D, 19^th February 2014 - Pocket D was lit up with foreign traditions during the three days of International Exhibition Week organised by International Culture Night (ICN) 2014 committees supported by International Student Council (ISC). The purpose of this exhibition is to introduce international cultures to students as well as staff, and also to promote ICN 2014 which will be held on the  night of 14^th March 2014. There were 11 booths representing diversified cultures from participating countries. Booths set up by UTP students themselves, both undergraduates and post-graduates, distributed their traditional food, and exhibited cultural items ranging from flags, garments, dolls, ceramics, and musical instruments. ICN 2014 itself had their own ticketing booth which was made and decorated from scratch by the committees. The Best National Costume Competition was also held and the winner with the most Facebook likes will be announced during the actual ICN. The week was further spiced up with remarkably entertaining flash mob performances by UTP dance groups such as Interbeatz, Bhangra and Stage Breakerz. In selected booths, students were given free food and were given chances to try on some traditional costumes of other countries. The HOT Team would like to congratulate the ICN committees for their successful International Exhibition Week and wish the committees all the best for their upcoming ICN 2014.
