International Center University of Florida

Come join us to discuss the importance of food and community in Asian culture and how they shape our identities! Grab a cup of chai and some snacks. Have a fun time drawing your favorite family meal and sharing the story behind it! Follow us on Instagram @ufapidse for updates.

Activities:

• Draw your plate: You will draw/decorate a plate of a family meal that is meaningful to you.
• Share the story behind the plate
• Exhibit of family meals around Asia: Our office will curate an exhibition of the family meals with your plates to facilitate cultural learning.

Highlights:

• As food across cultures is diverse in its nature, you will learn different cultural traditions and life stories.
• It is not always easy to share personal stories. With this draw-your-plate activity, stories will flow naturally and awkward-free.
• It is a great opportunity for everyone especially international/minority students to share unique life stories and make friends with others.
• Chai tea and Asian snacks will be provided if the plate-drawing makes you hungry.
