What is a Summer University?
100 different AEGEE-antennas all over Europe organize over the summer holiday language courses at various levels, Travel Summer Universities and Summer Events for students from all over Europe. These events are part of our Summer Universities(SU) project. AEGEE-Mannheim regular organizes events with other AEGEE-antennas from all over Europe.
How do I participate in a Summer University?
The SUs are organized by AEGEE-students for AEGEE -students. This implies that you have at first become a member of AEGEE-Mannheim and then you can directly participate in your first Summer University.
What happens during a Summer University?
The price of a SU is 140 € (180 € for a Travel-SU, "TSU") and includes accommodation, meals and the entire program, but not your arrival (at the TSU the travel costs during the 14-day course are included).
For so little money you cannot expect accommodation in 3-star-hotel. The range of accommodation varies from accommodation in private lodging places, dormitories, youth hostels up to –depending on what you can get for 140 € (in Eastern Europe often incredibly much!). The content and themes of SUs vary. Sometimes courses are offered, i.e. sailing, canoeing, trekking, cultural priorities, beach holidays or trips to European cities such as Rome, Madrid, Budapest, Prague, Moscow, Istanbul, Kiev, Belgrade, Amsterdam....
More about and the theme you find in the official description of the SU. To tell you in advance: there are relatively few courses that focus on cultural exchange. But your language skills you can still improved: Which language should 30 participants from 15 countries use instead of English? We have compiled a brief information sheet in which the most important general questions about the SU of AEGEE be clarified. We provide these directly during our meetings.
