On Thursday, February 12th, IPL had the pleasure of welcoming international students from the four schools of the consortium, for an authentic taste of French culture.
The 25 students, who gathered at CPE Lyon and came from all over the world (Germany, Cameroon, Canada, China, Colombia, the United States, Greece, Pakistan, and Ukraine), shared a warm and friendly evening over raclette, an iconic dish from our region.
The event was met with great enthusiasm and gave everyone the chance to connect and build new friendships. A standout moment of the evening was the presentation and tasting of desserts prepared by the students themselves. One by one, they introduced a sweet specialty from their region or home country. It was a wonderful way to take everyone’s taste buds on a journey while discovering each other’s traditions. Between delicious treats and plenty of smiles, the evening unfolded in a joyful atmosphere and ended on a note full of new discoveries.
We would like to warmly thank the Région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes for its financial support through the “Accueil d’Excellence” project. Thanks to this support, these cultural and friendly gatherings can take place and help strengthen the bonds between international students within the consortium.
