True to the nature of the city it is located in, Stafford House London hosted a very successful International Night for its very diverse student body. Contributing to the success of the event was a week of ‘classroom-to-classroom’ promotion carried out by our activities leaders and with the help of our teachers, during which the students were asked to try and bring a sample of their national cuisine and prepare a quick presentation of their countries’ customs and famous sights.

The night began with informative visual presentations about the students’ homelands which sparked many interesting questions and discussions, as well as showing students how much their various cultures have in common. The fun then proceeded to the canteen where a spread of all national dishes was awaiting the students. Baklava, bocadillo, traditional Kuwaiti coffee and dried fruits were among the many delicious, and unfamiliar to many, treats which the students had prepared in groups according to nationality but gladly shared with their classmates from around the world.

Miguel, 18, Columbia: “I enjoyed everything because I learnt new, cool things about other countries such as Kuwait and Brazil. The way the students presented their countries was incredible. It was a good project to make you feel more comfortable with other students, learn about their culture and traditions and teach them about yours.”
