In a heartwarming celebration of cultural diversity, international students from around the world came together to celebrate Eid al-Fitr with INCULS on 5^th May 2023.

Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, the month-long period of fasting and reflection for Muslims. INCULS gathered students from different parts of the world to find ways to connect and share in the joy of the occasion with their peers, teachers, and staff.

The remarkable occasion was held at the Panggung Terbuka of FIB UGM. And for the first time after a while, INCULS organized real-time events to mark the occasion, sharing traditional foods and stories about Eid Mubarak cultural customs. For many, this was their first Eid away from home, and the chance to connect with others from similar backgrounds was especially meaningful. read more
