The European Union (EU) Delegation to Bangladesh organised
the festivities for the European Day on 9 May 2010 at the
Bashundhara Convention Centre in Dhaka. The celebration is a
major annual event for the European Union which aims to
promote cultural exchange between the EU and Bangladesh.
Certain aspects of rich Bangladeshi culture were presented
on the occasion that included fusion food competition, photo
exhibition, drawing competition and fashion show.
As a major part of their promotional activity, EU invited
International Jute Study Group (IJSG) to participate in the
“Craft Village” to exhibit jute and kenaf products during
the event. IJSG participated in the event along with four
other entrepreneurs of Bangladesh: Esheeta, Evan’s Products,
Shohag Jute & Handicrafts and Sonar Bangla Crafts. The
entrepreneurs displayed jute products like bags, shoes,
apparels, floor mat, cushion covers, curtains, lamp shade,
wrapping papers, greetings cards, etc.
The visitors showed keen interest about the research
initiatives, publicity materials and publications of the
International Jute Study Group displayed at the IJSG stand,
specially about the recently published book on Jute - “Jute
Basics”.
