participants
Our summer activities are dedicated to students who just arrived in the city and to give them a first chance to meet new people and feel welcome in their new home. The start of a life abroad is not always easy, thus, with the summer activities, we really try to give them some hold and show that ESN is a safe place and a first contact point if they ever need anything. The start of the international experience can be stressful and scary, thus, the Yoga was supposed to calm then down and improve their mental health. The snacks, drinks and social afterwards aimed at meeting new people and making friends.
We met in ACLO, the sports centre in Groningen and a professional teacher gave a nice one hour class. Afterwards, we went to the sports bar to have free drinks and fries.
