On 26th March a celebration of different cultures and nations took place at the Varna University of Management Campus in Dobrich. Students from over 20 countries presented their talents, which reflected traditions and customs of their home countries.

Sticking to the old Bulgarian tradition, all participants were welcomed with bread bites dipped into honey or mixed salt. The students from 5th grade at the Private Primary School Maria Montessori in Dobrich made an interesting presentation about Bulgaria, its history, nature, cuisine and more.
Тhe applauses were provoked by the „La Marseillaise“ performed by a group of French students, as well as by the performance of a traditional Vietnamese song and a dance by Uzbekistanian students.
