During the World Week, overseas student societies from regions such as Southeast Asia, Middle East, Europe and Africa showcased their nation's cultural heritage. The event was also encouraged by the university to raise awareness and increase knowledge about other nations' cultural heritages.
The Brunei booth, which was set up by the BruSheff members, received warm welcome from the university students as well as staff. The BruSheff members also presented performances consisting of Brunei traditional dances such as "Samalindang" and "Joget". A BruSheff member also gave a "syair" performance.
BruSheff president Khiari Yakob, who is also a second year student at University of Sheffield said, "We found out most of our friends, especially from European countries, are curious about Brunei. Some of them are looking forward to visiting Brunei Darussalam in order to experience for themselves the life in Brunei. In short, this is the best platform for us to expose to the world about Brunei." He appreciated the involvement of all BruSheff members and thanked the university for giving them the chance to showcase Brunei.
In relation to the event's success, BruSheff also thanked the Brunei High Commission at the United Kingdom, Brunei Tourism Board and Postal Service Brunei for supplying materials and traditional food during the exhibition.
BruSheff was established in 2008 and currently has 40 members, all of whom are Bruneian students studying at University of Sheffield. BruSheff members are also active in both BruSheff's community activities and the university's activities.
