Summer break is almost over, and a new academic year, full of great experience, new skills and interesting events is approaching!
And one of these new skills that you can learn in AUC is debating!

Have you never experienced debating before, but want to improve your public speaking and improvisation skills and be able to defend any point of view in the argument? Or is debating already your greatest passion? In either case, you are invited to the first debating night of the year in AUC!

We will start the night from fun warm up exercises and the short introductory lecture about BP debating style, so no prior experience is required.
After that we will do one debates with willing to participate experienced debators, so you can learn all the rules with example (if you already have experience, you are very welcome to participate in these debates). Finally, we will do one more round of debates, in which anyone will be able to particpate.

The event will take place in the AUC academic building on the 6th of September in room 2.01

As it is the last day of summer break Solace welcomes you back to your safe haven, our lovely bubble, but moreover a very warm welcome to the new first years. And what better way could we celebrate the start of this new adventure than with a party? We know that you can drown in the amount of course work and that you may feel lost in our bubble. Therefore, we want to give you some solace and take you out for a night in the wild. Solace presents to you the very first party of the year: Lost in the wild. On the 12th of September we invite you to Claire, a club with pink lights and wild plants. Awake your senses, get lost in the different rooms with magical sounds (DJ’s to be announced), and dance the night away!

GENERAL BUT IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
– valid ID is REQUIRED at every party (and ofcourse -18 is very welcome)
– Dress up (and mess up): the theme is MYSTIC JUNGLE, how would you dress when you would step in this wild mysterious world?
– Doors open at 22:30 and will close at 00:00

On the 24th September, Germany votes! These elections will decide which government and which Chancellor Germany will have for the next four years. On that occasion, we want to have an informal get-together at Polder to talk about the elections and everything related to it.

You are not able to vote in the German elections or don’t know much about it? Even better, this is your opportunity to learn a bit about what is going on in German politics at the moment!
We will do a small presentation in the beginning so everything will be familiar with the basics (which parties there are etc).

Whether you hold the German citizenship or not, whether you are a passionate Merkel advocate or a Schulz – fan, whether you know everything or nothing about German politics, you are all very welcome to join!!

Dear AUC students & friends,

The Zen Board invites you to the first ‘Art of Meditation’ of the year!

In this first session we will begin exploring the wonderful practice of meditation together. Throughout the semester on Wednesday nights we will have various events, in which we approach meditation from all possible angles: practicing different styles, guest/video lectures, workshops, you name it…

No previous expericence will be required though, so If you want to try out meditation for the first time, this is the ideal opportunity 🙂
