Term 1’s International Markets were held Wednesday, 5th April 2025, 6 pm-10 pm on the UNSW Main Walkway.
With a record crowd of 7,000 attendees, the event was very successful in its mission to raise money to support victims of the Earthquakes in Turkey & Syria along with creating a positive atmosphere to celebrate different cultures.
Here are the biggest highlights!
Arc Clubs partnered with the UNSW Turkish Society and raised over $3,5OO which will be donated through recovery organisations, AFAD & AHBAP.
Students were treated to 22 food stalls and eight musical performances from cultures around the world.
The Market atmosphere was filled with a variety of musical performances from professional Turkish dancers, Australian Dance Academy, to Elton John's Rocket Man, performed by the Piano Society.
Several CIub stalls were so popular, they restocked multiple times to meet the demand, and some Clubs served over 800 plates.
Arc thanked Medibank and UNSW Equity Diversity & Inclusion for their support of the event and decorations.
Medibank’s Partnerships & Commercial Manager, Sabrina Gu said, “It was such a pleasure to witness students' enthusiasm for engaging in the activities we had in store for them.”
Food highlights included Nura Gili Indigenous National Team’s kangaroo sausage sizzle, Bangladesh Society’s camel burgers and Turkish Society kebabs.
“This is a stunning accomplishment and we’re so proud of our communities for coming together tonight.”
