Andy Peel, EUSA Vice President Societies and Activities

This is our two week programme of events designed to give you another opportunity to

sample some of the amazing activities on offer at Edinburgh. So whether you missed the boat in Welcome Week, or just fancy turning your hand to something new, we’re sure you’ll find

something of interest to try out!

It’s never too late in the year to join a club, society or volunteering group. Many of the

highlights of my time at university have come from getting involved in a wide range of

activities, so, excusing the pun... Give it a Go!

Think Tank Workshop

How hard can it be to run a students’ union? Find out by trying your hand at being a student union President or Vice-President. The Principal wants an urgent meeting about a student protest that is disrupting lectures, you need to decide how EUSA will save £100,000 next year, and the guest speaker for tonight’s high profile Black History Month event has called off. How would you tackle it? In this session you’ll work in groups to negotiate true to life scenarios.

Come to the Buchanan Institute, Scotland’s first student-led think tank and EUSA Society of the Year 2015 to find out how to turn ideas into action. We will be having an interactive workshop about how to solve society’s problems!

We’re excited to host a picnic for anyone interested in finding out more about the society. This is a great way to meet volunteers and members of the committee who can give you a better insight into what school clinics are like. It’s also a useful chance to have a look at what kind of games we play with the children and what lessons these try to teach. If there is rain don’t worry we will have a plan B and there will be food!

Did you know that learning languages early in life can be beneficial for your child’s development? Why not join us in this fun language activity based on the adventures of “Hocus & Lotus”, the Dinocrocs. We will act out their adventure, sing songs and make Dinocroc puppets to take home – and have fun with new languages at the same time! This activity is aimed at parents and children between the ages of 3 - 7. Coffee/tea will be provided, but please bring a snack for your child.

Are you interested in language learning? Would you like to explore British Sign Language? BSL has its own grammar completely different from English. Learn about the language, who uses it, and the Deaf culture which surrounds and helps transmit the language. No previous knowledge required!

Would you like to learn more about the Gaelic language? Led by the University’s Gaelic Officer, this interactive session will include information on Gaelic’s history, legacy and culture, and will give attendees the opportunity to learn a few common words and phrases, and even a song or two! All are welcome, and no previous experience or knowledge is required.

CHV has been volunteering with disadvantaged children across Edinburgh for over 50 years, giving kids and students a chance to get out and have a bit of fun! With groups totalling 80 students and 100 kids, we regularily have activity nights, day trips and weekend camps. Come along to our taster session and find out more about getting involved!
