The event brought together union members living in Denmark, including people from different countries around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nkubana Paul, the representative of the Rwandan Diaspora in Jutland and Funen, told IGIHE that the gathering provided a valuable opportunity for the different communities to showcase their cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt was a great opportunity to come together, with each community presenting its culture through traditional cuisine, songs, dances, traditional clothing and other cultural expressions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nkubana said Rwandans showcased their culture through traditional dances as well as agricultural products prepared as local dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe had the opportunity to talk about today\u2019s Rwanda. We realised that quite a number of people already knew Rwanda and asked us many questions because they were interested in what we were presenting,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also said that participants from other African countries had asked Rwandans to represent them, believing that greater cooperation among African communities would help showcase the continent in a stronger and more united way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to him, the African communities present agreed to strengthen their cooperation through various activities, with the aim of promoting greater awareness and understanding of their respective countries and cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the event, the Rwandans also presented the Visit Rwanda programme, explaining to participants the ease of travelling to Rwanda, including the possibility of obtaining a visa upon arrival at the airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They also highlighted some of Rwanda\u2019s main tourist attractions, including its national parks and the diverse wildlife found there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
