On 14 December 2023, the intercultural evening followed by a Christmas party, organised by the International Office, the student representatives and the 'Days of Diversity' project, took place in the cafeteria and foyer in Hofstallstraße. At 19:00, a jazz combo opened the intercultural evening and framed the short welcoming speech by Irina Villani and Lena Meiertoberend.
Afterwards, student Maria Rest sang songs in Bavarian dialect - this provided an interesting insight into the cultural diversity of Germany. Student Alexandra Gkasdrogka created an exciting kind of encounter through music with Greek dances. She invited the participants to come together in a circle and dance with her. Then it was open stage until 21:30, when the intercultural evening turned into a Christmas party and three different bands (Basti-Landes-Band, Schumitones, PuVPM-Band) took over the musical lead and got the visitors dancing in the foyer.
The musical contributions left room for varied conversations and encounters.

During the event, the student representatives provided visitors with mulled wine and other drinks, while Veggie Bros catered for the physical well-being.
