Activity week
Activity weeks are all about fun and getting to know to hosting Local Group’s culture. According to events main theme, the event could include company visits, student parties, vineyard visits or then just simply skiing in the Alps for the whole event time. During the event you will get new experiences, meet new friends and learn from different cultures in a relax atmosphere.
Council Meeting
Twice a year, spring and autumn, the representatives from all local groups throughout Europe meet to coordinate the work within ESTIEM, to set up guidelines for the future and elect the board and project leaders.
The Council Meetings (CM) are arranged by local groups and nowadays arranging a CM means a considerable work effort as the most recent ones have had about 200 participants. A CM is an excellent chance to get in touch with other IEM students and to contribute to the ESTIEM projects.
At the CM different working groups led by experienced ESTIEMers develop concepts and strategies, work on guidelines, do practical work … in general just help ESTIEM becoming even better. In these working groups you can experience the spirit of ESTIEM and learn how interesting it is to work in small international teams.
Besides this working part, a council meeting is a great deal of fun! You’ll get in touch with the (night)life of a European city, learn about the local culture and have the opportunity to make friends from all over Europe
