On the afternoon of 7 October, the Faculty of Finance – Accounting organized a cultural exchange for UEF students and students from Budi Luhur University, Indonesia. This was also one of the activities under the exchange program for Indonesian students at UEF.

In a warm and open atmosphere, students from both universities chatted and introduced themselves before “joining hands” to carry out the activities.

Indonesian students shared and guided UEFers in weaving items from used candy wrappers. Through careful and skillful steps, the groups created charming handmade products. During the process, UEF students also practiced and improved their foreign-language communication skills.

In addition, UEFers introduced their international friends to making lanterns for Vietnam’s Mid-Autumn Festival. Starting from bamboo frames in various shapes, the students worked together to complete and decorate lanterns based on their own ideas. The process fostered connection and conversation, helping participants better understand Vietnamese culture and UEFers’ stories about the Mid-Autumn Festival.
