NewsTeam Potluck at the office

Delicacies from home

During our recent office outing hka20+ and our excursion to Venice, we were reminded of the diverse range of countries and cultures that make up our team. There’s so much to discover and learn about our different roots!

We celebrated this diversity on Monday, July 24th, with a ‘snacky potluck’ following our monthly office meeting. For a potluck evening, anyone who likes brings a small portion of a snack, dish, dessert or a drink from their country or culture. All the typical specialties were laid out on the long wooden table by our kitchenette for sharing and enjoying. Small labels provided information about the snack’s name and its country or region of origin.

Many thanks to Sakshi & Dragana for the great idea and organisation! And of course, a big thank you to everyone who enriched the evening with dishes from their home country – it was a great way to end our Monday office meeting. An impressive list showcasing the diversity of our team’s roots can be found below ▼
