<\/a>\u201cI am proud that so many students coming from different parts of the world with different language and cultural background have chosen Budapest and Semmelweis University as the location and institution for their higher-education studies. One of the reasons for this is the international reputation of our education, which is proven by the fact that our institution has recently been listed<\/a> among the best 300 universities in the category of life sciences and medicine. I believe tolerance and the acceptance of other cultures are very important, in which the multiculturalism of the university and the organization of events similar to the International Semmelweis Carnival are very helpful for both students and teachers.\u201d, emphasized Dr. Attila M\u00f3csai.<\/p>\nThe International Semmelweis Carnival is organized around a specific theme every year. This year the scenery of the event held at Nagyv\u00e1rad t\u00e9r Theoretical Building took the participants into the world of science-fiction movies. The carnival was organized by the members of the Students\u2019 Union, the Instructor Self-Active Group, International Student Association of Semmelweis (ISAS) and the Deutschsprachige Studentenvertretung Semmelweis (DSVS).<\/p>\n Eszter Keresztes![\"\"](\"https:\/\/semmelweis.hu\/english\/files\/2017\/03\/RS59730_ADZ_20170310_0446-scr-300x200.jpg\")
<\/a>As the opening ceremony of the carnival, students performed dance and music performances by displaying the elements of their own nationality and culture: among others there was a traditional Palestine folk dance performance, a Hungarian folk dance performance from the Somogy region, also a German student held a guitar concert. Afterwards DJs from Nigeria, Israel and Hungary showed their music sets, which also meant to represent the international multiculturalism of the event. According to the traditions the Multicultural Food Festival was held this year, too, where the participants could taste the specialties of more than 20 nations, including Hungarian traditional meals, and for the first time Dutch traditional meals were also served.<\/p>\n
