During  workshops    If  you  need  to  kick  back  and  relax  your  head  during  the  busy  workshop  days,  come  and  find  us!  During  breaks,  we  will  have  a  new  activity  each  day.    …on  Tuesday,  you  can  come  plant  your  own  cress,  a  stable  in  every  Danish  windowsill  during  spring.    You  can  use  it  to  spice  up  your  food  later!                                …on  Wednesday  come  make  your  own  “gækkebrev”,  a  500  year  old  tradition  of  letter-­‐sending  still  practiced  in  Denmark.  You  write  a  greeting  and  sign  your  name  using  only  dots  –  the  recipient  has  to  guess  your  name  based  on  the  number  of  letters  in  your  name.  If  they’re  wrong,  they  must  give  you  an  Easter  egg  made  of  chocolate!  

   

…on  Thursday  we’re  going  back  to  childhood  with  every  Danes  favourite  childhood  pastime  –  the  LEGO  bricks!  Go  ahead  and  build  whatever  your  heart  desire  –  let’s  see  that  IFMSA  creativity  we  all  love!

Evenings    Monday  Opening  Ceremony  and  Welcome  Party!  For  the  first  night  of  Pre-­‐EuRegMe  we  will  give  you  a  warm  welcome,  presenting  a  bit  of  what  Aarhus  has  to  offer.  Look  forward  to  speeches  from  both  the  O.C.,  the  president  of  IMCC  Denmark,  a  sketch  or  to  from  our  very  own  revue  “Medicinerrevyen”  –  and  much,  much  more.    

     Prepare   to   be   wined   and   dined,   buy   delicious   drinks   (virgin   or   alcoholic)   in   our   O.C.-­‐bar,   and  

…  dance  the  night  away!    Dress  code:  semi-­‐formal      Tuesday  Ever  heard  of  the  Danish  word  “Hygge”?  It’s  a  word  that  can’t  be  translated  to  other  languages,  but  roughly  means  something  cozy,  warm  and  fussy.    Well,  we’re  going  to  have  a  “hyggelig”  time  on  Tuesday!  We’ll  fire  up  the   bonfire   in   the   University   Park,   where   you’ll   have   to   work   a   bit   to   get   your   dessert   –   twistbread   and  s’mores!  We’re  hoping  for  good  weather,  but  since  you  never  know  with  Danish  weather  –  least  of  all  in  april  –  bring  a  warm  sweater  and  warm  yourselves  by  the  fire!

Thursday  We’ll  send  you  off  with  a      It’s  time  for  a  goodbye  party!  The  theme  is  “Dress  like  a  dane”  –  it’s  time  to  put  everything  you’ve  learned  in  the  past  week  to  use!  Whether  you  want  to  dress  like  your  new  Danish  friends,  spice  it  up  like  good  ol’  Aqua  or  go  all  out  Copenhagen  hipster  –  we  are  sure  you  will  all  look  faboulous!  For  inspiration,  go  to  http://tinyurl.com/dresslikeadane    We’ve  booked   a   club   in   downtown  Aarhus’   ultimate   party-­‐street   –   conveniently   located   right   next   to   your  hotel!  We’ve  secured  some  really  good  prices  in  the  bar,  so  all  you  have  to  worry  about  is  having  the  best  time  with  all  of  your  new  friends!    PS:  a  curious  thing  about  the  Danish  flag  –  most  people  see  it  less  as  a  sign  of  Denmark,  and  more  of  a  sign  of  someone  having  their  birthday.  So  feel  free  to  don  the  Danish  flag  –  all  of  us  Danes  will  just  be  humming  birthday  songs  and  thinking  of  cake!    Dress  code:  Danish!

Past  time    If  you  arrive  in  Aarhus  early,  need  time  to  yourself  or  want  to  kill  time  on  Friday  morning  before  going  to  Aalborg  –  here’s  a  few  things  you  could  do!    

Shopping  Despite  the  young  population,  Aarhus  is  proud  of  being  one  of  the  eldest  cities  in  Denmark  and  contains  old  city   parts   such   as   the   Latin   Quarter   –   right   around   the   corner   from   the   hotel!   This   is   one   of   the   most  atmospheric,   bustling   and   trend-­‐setting   parts   of   the   city.   Go   here   if   you  want   a   good   cup   of   coffee,   hand  picked  vintage  items  or  hand-­‐made  jewellery.    

For  high  street  brands,  the  main  shopping  street  is  right  around  the  corner  as  well!  

 

 

 

 

     

 

 

 

 

 

Cafes,  bars  and  nightlife  

Nightlife   in   Aarhus   is   very   special.   You   can   find   cafés,   clubs,   pubs   and   bars   in   every   shade   imaginable   and  because   the   city   centre   is   so   compact   and   everything   is   within   an   easy   reach,   you   will   feel   a   laid-­‐back  atmosphere  and  a  nearness  that  you  simply  can’t  find  anywhere  else.  “Åen”  in  Aarhus  is  the  very  centre  of  the  nightlife  in  town.  Here  you  will  find  everything  from  gritty  to  fancy  bars,  dancing  to  ping-­‐pong  places.  Leave  your   summer   jacket   in   one   place   and   go   bar-­‐crawling   all   night   long.   How   about   going   to   Herr   Bartels   on  Wednesdays  or   Thursdays   for   “Two-­‐for-­‐one”-­‐offers   on  beer   and   incredible  drinks?   (Also,   this   is   a   favourite  hangout  spot  for  medical  students)  For   coffee,   try   going   to   Street   coffee   in   Vestergade   for   the   best   cup   of   coffee   in   the   city   and   a   cool  atmosphere,  or  head   in  the  direction  of  “Frederiksbjerg”  –  a  part  of  city  crowded  with  cozy  cafes  and  small  eateries!

KAPSEJLADSEN  2015  –  24th  of  april  Said   to  be   the  biggest  event   for   students   in  northern  Europe,   “Kapsejladsen”   takes  place  every  year  at   the  University  Park.  It  started  as  a  mockery  of  the  Oxford/Cambridge  boat  races  in  1991,  where  the  medical  and  dentist  students  would  sail  across  the  lake  in  the  center  of  the  park,  down  a  beer,  spin  around  ten  times  and  sail  back  across  the  lake.  5  persons  from  each  team  would  compete,  and  the  first  team  to  finish  won  the  relay.  Since  then  it  has  been  held  every  year,  and  has  been  expanded  to  include  12  different  faculties  each  year.  The  medical  faculty  has  won  9  times  since  2000!      The   rules  are  many  and  complicated,   and   include   the   team  having   to   sail   some  kind  of   inflatable  boat  and  having  at  least  one  girl  on  each  team.  Each  year  the  park  is  filled  to  the  brim  with  students  camping  out  in  the  park  –  some  even  stay  the  night  before  in  tents  in  order  to  secure  a  front-­‐row  seat!  Most  people  arrive  around  6  o  clock  in  the  morning  and  eat  breakfast,  drink  beer  and  enjoy  the  day  off  in  the  sunshine  (if  we’re  lucky!).  The  boat  race  doesn’t  start  until  2  o  clock,  however  there  are  events,  quizzes,  a  naked  run  and  –  in  later  years  –  even  concerts  while  you  wait  for  the  race  to  start!    Unfortunately,   we   will   be   leaving   for   Aalborg   before   the   race   starts   –   but   if   you   feel   like   absorbing   the  atmosphere   of   the   whole   thing,   swing   by   the   park   on   Friday   morning   and   hang   out   until   the   EuRegMe-­‐adventure  continues!    PS:  Take  a  look  at  this  video!!    tinyurl.com/kapsejladsvideo
