Some of the international students at Campus Porsgrunn presenting photos, videos and delicious food

An international food festival where 9 countries served food from their home country was the most popular part of the programme. The students also had pictures, videos and music from their home countries and some wore national costumes.
The participating countries were China, India, Iran, Iraq, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Ukraine.

Many students and staff members took the opportunity to meet the international students and sample some food from the different countries.

Three faculties had stands with information about exchange opportunities for current TUC students. TUC has a large network of partner universities abroad. All ordinary students have opportunities for exchanges abroad in their programmes.
