A Recap of International & Culture Week
|
Last month we celebrated the rich culture and diversity that we have in our college. We have over 70 nationalities in DBS and we wanted to showcase each of these countries.
This year was the first year that we ran an International & Culture week and it was undoubtedly a huge success!
We had students from different ethnic background involved in the activities and events that we ran throughout the week and they had the opportunity to learn and experience the various cultures that we have in DBS.
Students from different countries were invited to showcase and celebrate their culture last Thursday! For the first time ever in DBS, we hosted an International fair with 13 countries from different continents to teach us a little about their country!
We had representatives from: China, India, Malaysia, Venezuela, Spain, Germany, Ireland, Philippines, Germany, Africa, Kuwait, Sweden and Italy.
We also ran a competition of the best booth of the day. It was on the basis of originality, effort, enthusiasm and food! The Philippines took first place scoring an impressive 40/40. Followed by Malaysia and China sharing 2nd place, with a score of 38/40!

Student Testimonial: Leonardo
"My name is Leonardo and I am from Guadalajara. Everything has been excellent since I arrived here. Dublin is a beautiful city; it has everything and the people are very friendly. I have also had the opportunity to get to know people from all over the world which is very nice.
My experience in DBS has been amazing as I am taking an MBA in Project management, I have a job, and I am enjoying it a lot. DBS has helped me, not just professionally, but also in the way I speak English, and in enhancing all my skills. Therefore, it is an experience that I highly recommend."
