The theme of this year's International Day is "Herbs and spices from around the world" and is aimed at all members of the university as well as external guests. Among other activities, visitors can experience tradition Indian dance, attend a short yoga course, take part in a quiz about herbs and spices, drink Arabic tea, or have their skin decorated with a henna tattoo. The International Office of the university will be providing information about its services, as will the university alliance YUFE (Young Universities for the Future of Europe), the Languages Centre of the Universities in the Land of Bremen, the “Evangelische Studierendengemeinde Bremen”, the STUBE Nord (study support program of the Diakonie Hamburg for northern Germany), and the AStA Students' Union.

Urban Gardening Project Presented

The International Day also offers interested parties the opportunity to find out more about the university's urban gardening project: Behind SFG Building, the AstA Students' Union, the International Office's kompass team, and students from a wide range of fields of study and nationalities have created a garden. With the help of the university's apprentice carpenters, four pallet beds were set up and planted with berry bushes and an apple tree, to name just a few of the plants. The project aims to create a meeting place that provides a respite from academic stress. At the same time, it addresses climate, social, and food policy issues.

Visitors can also try the new "Uni Bremen Curry Dip" spice mix, which was created in collaboration between the kompass program and Bremer Gewürzhandel.

The International Day is being organized by the International Office, the student kompass team, the Senior Citizens of the Academy of Continuing Education, and the international student communities from the Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria, Bangladesh, India, China, Vietnam, as well as the Muslim University Association. The International Day looks back on a long tradition: It has been held every two years since 2012.
