The cultural melting pot is an event created to increase the speed of cultural integration in Rotterdam. The Students at the INholland University in Rotterdam organize the event themselves. The event will be held in the park near the Euromast in Rotterdam on the 6th of September 2008. The main activities of the event will be food, drinks and music from different nationalities. The event will present 13 different nationalities which will represent their national dishes. The name of the event "Cultural melting pot" is a name that should explain our purpose of the entire event; it is all about integration of different cultures in one single event.
Rotterdam is a multicultural city, with inhabitants from many different countries. Even though that Rotterdam is as multicultural as the statistics shows, we do not think that the integrations between the nationalities/cultures are working as good as it could do. An event that works for the integration and the awareness of the differences and the similarities between the people of the city could according to us be a good start or a "carrot" for a better climate between the citizens. The event itself will also be good for the promotion of the city and it could attract visitors from other cities and maybe in the future even from other countries.
