The students belonged to Germany, Portugal, Italy, Austria, Czech Republic, Netherlands, Romania, Egypt, Turkey, Vietnam, UK, China, Japan and Indonesia.
The students, with flags of India and their respective countries painted on their faces, took turns to provide information about their countries at the event, which was aptly named 'Global Village.' "The event provided a platform for people of Vadodara to learn about the culture of other countries," said Stuti Ahluwalia from AIESEC.
"Students put up dances, songs, music, theatrical shows and other activities from their respective countries, which best describe their culture. It was an initiative to create a mutual understanding and environment of togetherness across the nations," said Naveen Kori, an AIESEC volunteer.
