This week (2-7 April) there is the week of the “Active student”. The week of activities acclaims students who commit themselves to things for the university other than their studies, for instance participation in a study association, Student Council, or student politics.

We wish to make the society aware of the active such students do. The perception of most people is still that students, especially those students who are not following courses but obtain full-time board functions, are doing little more than drinking beer and hopping from one social event to another. (although one cannot deny a degree of justice in such a percepton, reality is still a little different)… Active students work on making the university and Amsterdam better! They are the ones who pay attention to the well-being of the students and the university and their contribution is often invaluable to positive change.

If you are one of them, join in for Active Student week!

Look for all the workshops the councils and study associations organize at:
