As the United States celebrated Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month in May, our Asians ERG at Microsoft Ireland joined the festivities in our own unique way. We shone a light on the vibrant cultures and rich heritage of all the Asian regions.Our celebration featured interactive booths with activities, historical insights, and delicious snacks from each region. Microsoft Ireland enjoyed amazing Bollywood, Chinese Dai, and Turkish dance performances, contemporary Indian music, culture sharing, and a bunch of new flavours. Such a memorable day of unity and diversity!Thank you team for making this possible.
