The night of Italy, Turkey and Latvia

The second day of International Evening consisted of the rest participating countries which were Italy, Turkey and Latvia.

The event started with the“Italiani” who made a presentation of country landscapes and some of their local food. Afterwards the music part followed which made us nostalgic and absorbed us into this culture because of such well-known songs like “Nelbludipintodiblu”(In the blue ) and “La societa’deimagnaccioni” (The big “eater” society). Mainly they showed us their lovely city ‘’Orbieto’’ which charmed viewers with its tuffs and beautiful tunnels and caves in the end everybody was welcomed to try their worldwide known food like parmesan cheese, cheese bread etc.

The following team was from Turkey. They presented us a video  about their historical places, bridges and culture. They act a drama for us which is called ‘’sıra geceleri’’ and it includes local food ‘’çiğköfte’’ which is well known in the East of Turkey. In the conclusion, they introduced to us the father of Turks - Atatürk then they proceeded with dance and music.

The final participating country was Latvia. They began with the presentation, singing unofficial anthem called “Saule, Perkons, Daugava" (Sun, thunder, Daugava) composed by Latvian composer Martins Brauns. They gave a little glimps at Latvia people’s behavior and special animals like blue cow. At the end of the night we were ready to taste Italian, Turkish and Latvian cuisine.

To sum up, all the participating countries have introduced themselves and the multicultural party was coming towards the end. Thanks to the great organizers of YES projects all participants got to know not only Bulgarian culture and traditions but also they were exposed to the multicultural environment.
