Christmas in Europe 2023 in Lithuania

On behalf of, among others, the hospitality campus of ROC Mondriaan, a number of students and their coaches traveled to the annual international AEHT event ‘Christmas in Europe’. This year the event was held in Vilnius, Lithuania. Leisure (School for Tourism, Recreation and Events), Cooks (School for Catering & Facility Services) and ICT were active on behalf of ROC Mondriaan.

Through various activities the students from a large number of European countries got to know each other and learn about each other’s Christmas traditions. Students from each school stood at stands where they explained their own traditions using delicacies from their countries. There were also cultural evenings where students presented  themselves by means of skits and there are European buffets where the cooks of the various schools showed off their skills. Finally, the ICT students were jointly responsible for the app that was used by the AEHT and by the participating teams from each country during this event.

The host school introduced the participants to Lithuania by arranging various excursions. “Christmas in Europe” is, all in all, a wonderful international event and we are proud that ROC Mondriaan was there to represent the Netherlands.
