UCL’s students had the opportunity to express what Europe means to them and what makes them feel as a part of this community.
We all have a picture in mind when we say “This is Europe”. It could be a place, a person, an atmosphere, anything. Find out what our photographers saw…

(The photos will be exhibited in the Print Room Café from Monday, 4^th March.)

You will be able to see the best pages/pictures from previous editions in large format exposed.

The current edition will be printed in a large format, article by article, with the contributors present.

For those of you who went on the BRUSSELS TRIP, some pictures from the trip will also be exposed!

London’s multicultural environment is the forefront of European diversity. The theme “Europe in London” explores how Londoners from different places across the world perceive Europe.

We aim in particular to give UCL’s students the opportunity to express what Europe means to them and what makes them feel as a part of this community.

We all have a picture in mind when we say “This is Europe”. It could be a place, a person, an atmosphere, anything. What is yours?

The competition will take place from December to February. Send in a photo you took that describes what Europe is for you.

The winning photographs will receive fantastic prizes and will be exhibited at the Print Room Café in February, during our “Europe in the World” Focus Week.

Kindly supported by the European Institute.

As the economic crisis deepens in Europe, Germany has revealed itself as the economic, political and ideological leader of Europe. Is the EU still the institution we used to know, founded on diversity and democracy, or just a growing federal state under the control of Germany?

The event takes place next Thursday, the 24th January at 19:30, in room Darwin B15 Biochemistry LT. Entry is free for all UCLU European Society and New Turn members, £2 entry otherwise.

The largest UCL culture societies are proud to host UCL’s only formal Christmas Ball of the year. We would like to invite all students to join us for an unforgettable night before heading home for Christmas.

Dress Code: Black tie

Join us on Tuesday, 11 December, at 7pm in Malet Place Eng 1.02 for a screening of  Swedish film Evil.

The film is set is 1950s Sweden. It’s about Eric Ponti, a violent adolescent who is expelled from his  school, and given a last chance to redeem himself in his mother’s eyes as she sends him to  boarding school. Adjusting to life among Sweden’s young elite proves difficult, and Eric is quickly  made an outcast by his more influential peers. Eric soon realises that he faces a choice –  accepting his place, or fighting for his honour, and risking everything that his mother had  sacrificed for him… It will, of course, be shown with subtitles, and there will, of course, be wine  and snacks.
