ULiège is organising its Festival of Cultures for the fourth time, on Thursday 19 November 2026. A unique opportunity to discover and experience dozens of cultures and to travel the world while staying in Liège!
The concept
Inspired by the "Festival of Cultures" organised at the University of Oulu in Finland (our partner in the UNIC network), the aim of this event is to highlight the diversity present within our institution and to emphasise the importance of human links. It is part of the University of Liège's 'International Week'.
This is a unique opportunity for local students and staff to discover cultures from all over the world and to support the integration of international students/researchers/staff at ULiège. It is thanks to them that our university is so open to the world and so international!
This event does not focus on one country and its politics, but on the culture of each country. It is therefore open to everyone, regardless of origin, and has no political affiliation.
Who is it for?
The entire ULiège community (students, researchers, staff, etc.) is invited to take part in this event. Come and share your culture and learn more about that of others!
