Integration Day
On Thursday February 6th, the International Relations Department, Melting Potes association, the language teachers and IPL (Institut Polytechnique de Lyon) organised an day of integration for the new international students, coming to study in Lyon for the second part of the year.
The festive afternoon was the opportunity to celebrate the Lunar New Year (Chinese New Year). Students were able to practice Chinese and Japanese calligraphy, play a Vietnamese board game, draw anime characters and enjoy a delicious cup of tea.
In the evening, the international students shared a ‘raclette’ at ISARA with other students from Institut Polytechnique de Lyon (ECAM, ISARA et ITECH). Each student brought sweet treats from their home country to share with the others. It was a convivial and friendly moment with many intercultural exchanges.
