The aim of the event was to provide a space for staff members and students to meet and network, share knowledge and enrich intercultural experience, whilst also celebrating the mid-summer season with a taste of cultures brought together by Queen's students and staff members, over a light lunch.

The event included traditional Chinese music on the guzheng, a Taiji martial arts demonstration, as well as various stalls showcasing calligraphy (Persian and Chinese), Indonesian culture, Chinese games, and the Chinese Dragon Boat Festival.
