12 November 2023 11:30 till 22:00 - By: Communication | Add to my calendar
Would you like to experience the traditions of one of the most popular Indian festivals across the globe? Join us to enjoy the traditions of a joyous Diwali! With workshops on Indian cooking and candle-making during the day and music and games in the evening, this will be a fun and cultural day that you cannot miss.
On Sunday the 12th of November, X is organising an all-day mini festival with workshops, food, music and games for the ‘Chhoti Diwali’ (which literally translates as ‘small Diwali’).
Daytime: Workshops
In collaboration with the Indian Study Association (ISA), Bij Ons Delft and FooDo, two workshops have been arranged during the day: a festive Indian cooking workshop and a candle-making workshop. With these workshops you will get a holistic view of the actual preparations for the festival, plus you will learn these interesting skills while having fun.
11:00 - 13:00 Festive Indian Cooking Workshop, incl. 3-course lunch hosted by FooDo & ISA @ Freetown Foyer & Kitchen
There are limited spots for this workshop. Everything (ingredients and cooking materials) will be provided by X and after cooking together you’ll enjoy the festive 3-course lunch in the Freetown Foyer together with the other participants.
15:00 - 16:30 Candle Making Workshop hosted by Bij Ons Delft @ Painting Studio
There are limited spots for the candle making workshop. The materials for the candle will be provided by the workshop instructor and the participants can take their creations home.
Evening: FREE!
In the evening you can join us with your friends in your most shimmery beautiful outfits to enjoy more delicious food, lights, drinks and traditional games - with prizes! There will also be a music performance and brief lecture & demonstration by Ja Jayanth (playing the flute) & K Sai Giridhar (playing the mridangam) in collaboration with Spic Macay Europe.
