On November 14th, 2023 (from 6pm to 7:30pm), the EU Center participated in the Multicultural Night of Leal Elementary School. The Multicultural Night included many activities to familiarize students with different cultures in the world, from being introduced to different alphabets to meeting various traditions.

The event hosted many different Illinois Global Institute members, including but not limited to Center for African Studies, Center for South Asian and Middle Eastern Studies. Every center had their own activity to contribute to the multicultural aspect of the event.

The EU Center was represented by the EU Center Research Assistant Eylul Begum Saglam. As a part of the Multicultural Night, the EU Center organized guessing the flag game, which included forty European countries (including the EU member states, EEA countries, candidate countries and potential candidates). Students chose a flag and tried to guess which country the respective flag belongs to. Regardless of their answer, all students who participated in the guessing game received symbolic travel stamps on their symbolic passports.
