Worldevening
The World Evening is a festive evening where students will prepare foods from a variety of cultures and regions, bringing the spirit of internationalism to us through cuisine. International entertainment will also be planned so that guests can enjoy traditional songs and dance. This evening aims to connect all members of the university, both students and staff, and other interested parties, with the world close to home.
The world evening will take place on December 5th, 2024 (5 PM - 9 PM / 17u - 21u) on the Agora in Campus Diepenbeek.

We refund the purchases for a maximum of 200 euro per country/group. These purchases should be of ingredients to make your dish and only if absolutely necessary, we allow the purchase of disposable serving dishes etc. It should be clear by their nature and quantity that they will be used only for the dish for the world evening. For example, we do not reimburse durable glass or metal kitchenware and quantities of any purchase that clearly will not only be used for the world evening.
Please keep all original tickets and receipts with the details of your purchases. We urge you to ask for official invoices/receipts. If this is absolutely not possible, the receipt must at least contain the purchase date, store details, ingredients, total price, and a stamp / header / signature of the store owner. Without these details, we cannot reimburse you!
After you submit the online form, you’ll receive the document ‘schuldvordering’: you can fill it in and send it back to the e-mail you received it from.
