In her speech as newly elected IMM class ambassador at the international programme graduation ceremony last November, Kateryna Diadenko from the Ukraine, looked back over the past year. “I am so proud” she said “of the legacy our IMM class is leaving behind. We have created a tradition that brings people together at Audencia.” Kateryna was talking about the InterCultural Festival (ICF), which she and her IMM classmates helped bring about, for the first time in November 2016 and for the second time in November 2017.
 

Supported by the IMM programme management team, Audencia Careers, Audencia Alumni and international staff at Audencia, the idea of an event that embraces the school’s diversity has been in people’s minds for many years. Careers consultant and Audencia alumna Shyla du Cosquer remembers her time at Audencia saying “During my studies at Audencia, I really felt that we needed a cross-cultural event to bring people together from all programmes and all horizons. I am so pleased to see IMM students taking up the challenge and organising a fantastic event for everyone”.
 

At Audencia since September 2017, newcomer Dan Evans, Audencia’s Director of Programmes, discovered ICF for the first time and joined in providing entertainment with a spelling bee. “It was interesting to see which words were difficult for non-native English speakers to spell. Definitely words such as indict and weird”, says Nancy, an IMM student who participated in ICF.
 

With nearly 250 students for its first edition and 350 for the second, ICF is committed to celebrating cultural diversity in all its aspects.
