BLIND WEDDING 💍🇷🇸 💐 Skip the dating, go straight to the Serbian wedding. 💐 ⚠️DISCLAIMER: No previous wedding experience required. No relationship status required either. 😉 Ever wondered what actually happens at a Serbian wedding? Why does everyone seem to know the lyrics to every song? Why is there a whole ceremony around taking the bride? Why does everyone have a role? Who is stealing the bride? What exactly are you supposed to do with a towel, an apple, or a piece of bread? And most importantly, why is there always rakija? Well… there’s only one way to find out. This November, AEGEE-Beograd invites you to BLIND WEDDING, a cultural event where you’ll get to experience Serbian wedding traditions, explore Belgrade, and probably learn a few things you never thought you needed to know about Balkan weddings. 🇷🇸 💍 But what exactly is a Blind Wedding? You’ll get a crash course in the traditions, rituals and little details that make a Serbian wedding a Serbian wedding. From the ceremony itself to the stories behind the customs, we’ll take you through the whole journey and yes, there might be some surprises along the way. But the wedding is only part of the story. 🏛️ Explore Belgrade From the St. Sava temple, historic streets of Zemun and Gardoš to Kalemegdan and the city centre, you’ll get to see some of the places that make Belgrade what it is. 🎬 Experience the wedding We’re bringing the Serbian wedding experience to life with a ceremony, wedding-themed activities, games and plenty of opportunities to find out why Serbian weddings are… an experience. 🍷 Taste the culture Because no Serbian cultural experience would be complete without food, drinks and the occasional rakija. 🔮 A few surprises along the way You’ll never be completely sure what’s coming next. 🌍 And of course European Night! Bring something from your country, share your culture, and prepare for an evening of food, drinks, stories and questionable dance moves from all over Europe. 🌃 When the wedding is over… Belgrade doesn’t stop. Expect pub crawls, parties and nights that may or may not end when the sun comes up. So, whether you’ve never been to a Serbian wedding or you’ve already survived three of them, BLIND WEDDING is your chance to experience one from a completely different perspective. 📅 12–16 November 2025 📍 Belgrade, Serbia Come for the wedding. Stay for the traditions. Leave with stories you’ll probably have to explain when you get home. 🇷🇸💍 Ready to say “I do”? 👉 Apply now and join all the bombshells in the villa!

Let’s (Re)Cover Ukraine: Reconstruction in Ukrainian Cities through the eyes of an architect

Vanaf — 07-12-2026 om 12:00

Tot — 07-12-2026 om 20:00

As the war in Ukraine continues and its people face deadly and devastating attacks on a daily basis, Fulco Treffers, a Dutch architect and the driving force behind an urban coalition, strives day by day to aid the recovery of cities and their communities. Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities are being shelled by Russia every single day. While many media outlets focus primarily on the destruction and casualties caused by drone and missile strikes in their news coverage and the discord on the global political stage, another aspect of daily reality often remains underexposed: the enormous effort that goes into restoring, rebuilding and strengthening the built environment across Ukraine. This lecture offers you a unique opportunity to hear from someone who has first-hand experience of working in Ukraine to confront these reconstruction challenges. Fulco Treffers, an architect and co-founder of Ro3kvit, a Kyiv-based urban coalition for Ukraine, will provide insight into the challenges involved in rebuilding a war-torn country. These challenges go far beyond arcitecture, they are deeply intertwined with social and political dimensions. For those who want to take a deeper dive into the different topics of the lecture and would like to continue discussing with Fulco and others, a follow-up session with a free provided lunch will take place immediately after and ends at 15:00. The program continues into the evening with a film screening and an authentic Ukrainian dinner. Sign up for the follow-up program via this form: https://forms.gle/3Ej3WaDYzXMq4PHz5. About the speaker Fulco Treffers is a Dutch architect and urban designer who studied Architecture at the TU/e. He is the director of the Dutch studio 12N Urban Matters, the co-founder of Ro3kvit, an urban coalition for Ukraine, and a former director of the Temporary Art Centre in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Treffers won national and international awards for the Space-S project, a social housing block, co-designed by its residents.

Aanmelddeadline: 27-11-2026 "Scream for me, Sarajevo!" came from the lips of Iron Maiden’s frontman, Bruce Dickinson, as he shook the foundations of a besieged city in 1994. Thirty-two years later, Sarajevo is screaming for you, fellow Network Meeting attendee. The historic, yet hauntingly beautiful streets of this resilient valleyed-up city are calling out to you in desire. Hosted in the city centre and by the passionate pioneers of the AEGEE Contact in Sarajevo, this four-day gathering invites you to step onto a stage where the past leaves its mark, and simultaneously the future makes the noise. At this event, we will put on display the diversity of our network, bringing together big and small locals, experienced antennae and freshly-founded contacts, well-travelled event-goers and less-experienced AEGEEans, united by our collective ambition of bringing Europe closer together. This Network Meeting is designed to be a supportive space to share success, swap strategies, and pass the torch of best practices so that no member of AEGEE stands alone in the dark. Well then, fellow attendee, the stage is set, the microphone is live, and the network is waiting. Bring your boundless energy, your bold ideas, and your bravest enthusiasm. Will you answer the scream with an even louder one?!?
