International Students Association (ISA) of Loughborough Students Union, annually organise INTERNATIONAL DAY, a mini world exhibition, where students from different countries present their culture at their country stalls. It is the biggest event organised in Union for the International Students. On that day, the students’ union building is booked for the exhibition, which includes Coginito, Room 1, Piazza and Exhibition area. Each country has a student representative, who is responsible for his/her country stall. Every country stall is given equal space (size of two exam tables) and certain location to present their culture. The student country representatives along with his/her colleagues work hard for over a month to gather materials for their stall. They present food, drinks, artefacts, music, souvenirs, PowerPoint presentation and many other feature of their country. The representative and their team set up the country stalls by 9:30 and the exhibition area is open for the general public from 9:30 onwards. The constant flow of visitors from University and Local community keep the exhibition area busy for the whole day. The country stalls starts closing down by 4:00 pm. In the mean time the cultural show starts from 2:00 in the Room 1 of the Students’ Union Building. Many groups of International Students perform live on the stage. The International Fashion Show follows the cultural performance. The exhibition finishes at 6:00pm.
