On the 21st of January the Intercultural Evening took place in Didzdvario Gimnazija and it transformed the school into a place with an exciting atmosphere full of culture and interesting people.
During whole Thursday the mood of the volunteers who were responsible for the event's organization were excited and full of curiosity and nervousness. We walked around in school and finished last tasks or rehearsed performances for the evening.
Many students and teachers joined the preparation and the atmosphere got more and more lively.
Finally when all guests entered, the assembly hall got crowded quickly. Besides the program and scenes from different countrys also the audience was full of different nations. We invited other volunteers from other countries or German people we already know in Siauliai and also Eduardo's Portuguese friends joined the celebration.
When the show started the variety of movies and typical clothes made the intercultural exchange very colorful.
A very special thing about this evening was the language. Nether everybody in the hall understood Lithuanian nor everybody would have a clue after English introductions. So we had to translate all the important facts and lead the evening in two languages. Additionally many performances used the mother tongue of the country they were presenting what made the whole event multifaceted.
Especially the songs and dances showed in an interesting way how different cultures are and they transported the county's feelings.
After the performances me and Linda hold a speech and thanked all the participants for the great co-operatin and underlined the integrative way the school works.
Downstairs in the cafeteria during people enjoyed all the different food the atmosphere got easier but still interesting. People exchanged opinions, own experiences or advices related to the food.
All in all everybody was satisfied with the event and thankful that everybody worked together so well.
10 in 1 - Different nations, all combined in one event, was a great success.
