During the Connecting Cultures Festival at Erasmus University Rotterdam, we celebrate the cultural diversity of our students. Learn a dance from another country, pick up a song in a different language, or discover something unique from another culture. The workshops are led by fellow students.

The workshops will take place on the afternoons of Tuesday, 17 November, and Thursday, 18 November.
