Meanwhile, representatives of 17 countries including Belarus, Ukraine, Lithuania, Japan, Vietnam, India, Thailand, South Korea, Italy, Spain, Mexico, the Netherlands, Kingdom of Eswatini, and Austria, who are foreign students, also took part in the event. They shared their cultural backgrounds with the students and faculty of Providence University through various activities such as showcasing their hometown's traditional cuisine and designing booth games. Some international students even dressed in their country's traditional costumes, such as the “hanbok” from Korea or the “batik cloth” from Indonesia, making the atmosphere even more diverse and enriching the exchange of culture.
