Feel good – Do good! FEB students in action for sustainable energy

Posted by on 11 Jun, 2012 in Attractions, Food/Drinks/Fun, Student life | 0 comments

Feel good – Do good!

This is the motto of the party “Beat (s Against) Coal” that will be held on the 29th of June in the Klup (Peperstraat 19) that was organised by a number of students from the FEB.
The event is part of the protest against the new Coal Power Plant in Eemshaven.
A number of locally well known DJs such as Mannshausen, D-Tech, Recht Monoton, Elaph Mosiq and DJ Yrk have already confirmed and the list of DJs that will be playing is not complete yet.
With a new concept, that combines doing good with feeling good, large parts of the profits of that night are invested into making the location more sustainable.
This idea originated from initiatives from Berlin that have successfully used the so called concept of a “carrotmob” before.
The Beat (s Against) Coal event on the 29th of June is connected to a demonstration on 30th of June at Waagplein in Groningen and the organisation is expecting a great turn out and publicity.

Flower market + farm animal invasion

Posted by on 6 Apr, 2012 in All, Attractions, Food/Drinks/Fun, Holidays, Shoping, Weekend activities | 0 comments

Every spring, Groningen becomes the host of an enormous flower market for a day. The flower vendors take over a large part of the city centre and thousands of tourists from other towns and neighbouring Germany make their way. Be it for buying some flowers or just for a walk, it is fun to see the market.

One thing I surely did not understand was why on my way home I became a witness of Groningen being invaded by farm animals. Not really something you see every day!

If you missed the International Day this year, don’t worry: we were there :) The delicious food from all over the world may be gone but we took some pictures and videos to keep the memory alive.

 

The international day is organised annually by the EBF and it is a great way to get to know a bit more about the cultures of the international students at the faculty. Many students are excited about letting their colleagues and teachers try their favourite dishes from back home and this all results in a great variety of foods and drinks from every corner of the world.

An event to remember was the Indonesian dinner organized by the Indonesian community in Groningen. It was a unique opportunity to experience the Indonesian culture accompanied with food fit for a king.

The presence of the Indonesian ambassador for The Netherlands, Her Excellency Ms. Retno Marsudi, made the evening even more special. She opened the programme with a speech about the beauty of Indonesia and the great economical and social improvement achieved over the years.
