School Events | 2019「国际日」:舌尖上的环球之旅!

International Day



福州西湖国际学校于5月17日举行了「国际日」活动!在这一天,每个班级代表一个国家,举办各种不同的活动,借此机会,学生可以更加了解、尊重多元的国际文化与民族风俗。今年我们的主题是「舌尖上的环球之旅」!每个国家都有充满当地特色的美食,国家往往以食物为窗口,让来自世界各地的人可以有滋有味地了解它们。人们收获、保存、烹饪、生产美食,并在其过程中留存和传承食物所承载的味觉记忆、饮食习俗、文化样态与家常情感。
Fuzhou Lakeside International School held its annual International Day on the 17th of May. The theme was “A Bite of the World,” reflecting the universal truth that food is one of the best ways to learn about another culture. A different country was chosen by each class and house, followed by a lot of planning and preparation to represent the country’s traditional attire, food, famous people, and cultural activities. This event is a very important one as it teaches each participating student and visitor about different countries, promoting mutual respect and knowledge for cultures that are different from one’s own. 



本次出现在「国际日」的「国家」遍布五大洲,一些班级选择了平日里较少受到国际关注的小国,如索马里、圭亚那等,让人觉得十分新鲜;中学部此次以学院为单位行动,四个学院分别代表摩洛哥、意大利、阿根廷及印度。同学们对教室的布置以及为这一天所准备的美食、活动都令人惊艳不已!当天还评选了「最佳美食形象大使」「最喜欢的国家」,你给谁投了票?最终,「最喜欢的国家」由加拿大(幼儿园小班)、尼日利亚(小学一年级B班)、印度(中学Fibonacci学院)摘得,「最佳美食形象大使」则花落G1B全体学生,恭喜他们!
The countries represented on International Day were from all five continents. Some classes chose small countries that receive less international attention in daily life, such as Somalia and Guyana. The four Houses of Secondary represented Morocco, Italy, Argentina, and India respectively. The decoration of the classrooms, the food, and the various unique activities prepared for the day were amazing! On that day students also selected the "Best Image Ambassador" and "Favorite Country" awards. Who did you vote for?  

We're glad to announce that the Favourite Countries of FLIS 2019 International Day are Canada (ECE-N), Nigeria (Primary-G1B), and India (Secondary-Fibonacci), while the Best Image Ambassador goes to the students of G1B! Congratulations to all!



FLIS期待通过国际日展示不同国家及民族人们日常生活中与美食相关的多重侧面,以美食为出发点描绘与感知世界各地的文化传统、历史变迁、家族观念及生活态度。希望通过此次活动,FLIS学子也对世界多元文化有了更多了解,藉饮食之道深度挖掘更有价值和韵味的世界故事!
We hope that this International Day has depicted how the lives of people are intermingled with the food of their countries. We also hope that our students and our visitors were able to get a good look at the cultural origins of food from around the world.
