Socialising in the Time of COVID-19

Who said that fun and social distancing aren't the best of friends? Well fine, they aren't, not really. But what say you, we dare to challenge the tristesse of the moment? Are you in or are you out?

We know that it is not easy to forge connections under these circumstances. Most fun places are closed; there are no parties and no bars to hang out, and we can meet only in small groups of two. This is not easy, especially if you have just transferred to a new country. This is not easy on us either.

So, we at the International Office would like to spice up this holiday season with activities for international students. Don’t worry, all of the events are organised in conformity with COVID-19, which unfortunately means that most events will take place digitally. Still, we solemnly swear to give you extra reasons to get out there and explore, because we are out to have fun!

Below you will find the list of the events we are planning. We will be updating the website as we go as some events are still in planning or under construction. Can you keep up with us?

(If you have an interesting idea for an event, feel free to share your thoughts with us and maybe plan with us. Do you solemnly swear that you are up to no good? Then you belong on our team).

P.S.: When participating in our events, we kindly ask you to abide by the government's regulations introduced to supress the spread of the virus. Thank you for helping our health system to stay functional in these difficult times. We appreciate it!
