The Konkoba drum group's passionate thumps and lively beats officially opened the National Chengchi University's (NCCU) 2019 World Festival with a bang. Held from the 14th to the 16th of May, the three-day occasion was filled with exciting activities and engaging cultural performances, including Mexican songs and Bian Lian (變臉) (Face-Changing). The NCCU Ballroom Dancing Club also performed a cha cha, a famous Latin American dance that originated in Cuba. "I am so thrilled that my classmates and friends liked my performance. Their surprise made me very impressed," said Li De-Shan(李德珊), one of the club's members.
Students from more than 14 countries, as well as five departments of NCCU's College of Foreign Languages and Literature, took part in the highly-anticipated Food Festival. The main feature of this event is that the participants were able to share their country or region's specialties, delicious delicacies, and thirst-quenching drinks to both Taiwanese and international visitors. Besting 32 other stands, Malaysia's was voted as the 1st place winner of Best Food Stand this year, followed closely by Indonesia and the Department of European Languages. The Food Festival offered event-goers a taste of the world's cuisine and culture without them having to leave the four corners of the school.
Since 2010, the Office of International Cooperation's Student Ambassadors has been organizing and holding the NCCU World Festival every year. Attending for the first time, South Korean exchange student Kim Shi-Jen(金希珍) commented, "I am surprised that there are so many foreigners in NCCU, especially in such hot weather, It was really amazing!"
In line with Taiwan's efforts for environmental protection, the event organizers also launched an eco-friendly campaign, giving away gifts for those who used their utensils, tableware, and food containers to reduce the consumption of disposable ones.
More than just entertaining people and filling their stomachs, the 2019 World Festival ultimately promoted cross-cultural awareness, appreciation, and communication among NCCU students, faculty members, and visitors alike.
