Today, the University community comprising of staff and students gathered at Quadrangle to witness the first edition of the 'Giovedì Gras | Pre-Carnival Gathering' event. During this event, the onlookers followed the Torcida Brasileira Malta group of drummers which warmed up the atmosphere during their energetic performance.
Moreover, a number of mini-Carnival floats were placed in the surroundings whilst food and beverages typical to this particular period of the year were served to those present.
The University is pleased with the outcome of today's event especially since many international students were curious to know more about the traditional Maltese Carnival sweets and drinks. It encourages more of its staff and students to participate in future social gatherings, which aim to further strengthen the sense of community present on Campus.
