The University of Manouba in Tunisia kicked off its third Cultural Days event on Wednesday, under the theme "Awaken Your Talents and Interact with the Rhythm of University of Manouba." The event is a collaboration with several partners, including associations and university institutions. University President Amer Al Sharif highlighted that the event aims to establish a comprehensive university life that goes beyond academic achievement and scientific training.
The event features an exhibition of artistic works and a "Wall of Ideas," an interactive space showcasing student creativity and gathering talented individuals. This space allows students to express themselves, refine their skills, and interact with each other through a combination of art, thought, and direct communication. Various workshops have also begun, including activities such as recycling paper jewelry, "laughter yoga," drawing comic strips, and playing chess.
According to University Vice President Azza Freikha, the workshops are competitive and allow students to demonstrate their skills in areas like music, singing, graffiti, and poetry. Around 50 students are participating in the different workshops, while approximately 250 others are involved in various artistic activities and exhibitions. The event is open to all creative expressions within the university community.

The event features students from 15 countries, with 300 international students studying at the university. The fashion show is a reflection of the university's diverse student body.
The event also features student performances produced during the competitive workshops in music, graffiti, and poetry.
