A tradition worth inventing would be a ‘Global Potluck Storytelling Night.’ Participants bring a dish from their culture and share the story behind it—its history, personal significance, or a memorable moment tied to it. This combines culinary exploration with narrative exchange, fostering connection and cultural appreciation.
The event would rotate hosting duties, encouraging diverse settings and themes. It mirrors the study abroad experience by blending food, storytelling, and community, creating a tangible way to celebrate diversity while building shared memories. The tradition emphasizes openness, curiosity, and the universal joy of breaking bread together.
