SUMMARY:Kiel Week Event Vol. 5
DESCRIPTION:After four amazing Kiel Week Events (2014\, 2015\, 2016\, 2019) and a seven-year break\, it’s finally time to return. We’re thrilled to invite you back to Kiel for a very special weekend! \n\n\n\nKiel Week is much more than a sailing regatta. Since the late 19th century\, it has grown into one of the world’s largest sailing events and the biggest summer festival in Northern Europe. Every year\, several million visitors fill the city with international flair\, music\, maritime culture\, and a unique festival atmosphere right by the sea. \n\n\n\nWe would like to invite you to spend a weekend staying in our homes\, exploring Kiel together\, and experiencing the diverse programme of Kiel Week! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme\n\n\n\nWe will spend a lot of time at Kiel Week\, which will be at the heart of our program. Key highlights include the famous Tall Ships Parade and the Night Glow\, where illuminated hot air balloons light up the night sky. At the same time\, we want to keep things flexible and go with the flow: Perhaps spontaneously attending a concert\, visiting a ship\, or joining other activities we come across. There will also be free time for you to explore Kiel Week on your own. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA few impressions of the last Kiel Weeks (missing pictures of the partys): \n\n\n© LH Kiel / Bodo Quante© FH Kiel / Philipp Kellner© LH Kiel / Barbara Westendorf© FH Kiel / Anita Naninga© FH Kiel / Alexandra Brecht© FH Kiel / Philipp Kellner\n\n\nImportant: We will see the Tall Ships Parade (also visible in the pictures). However\, many official races take place further out at sea\, so we cannot see them. It will also be very\, very crowded. If you don’t feel comfortable in large crowds\, we recommend that you do not attend the event. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccomodation & Getting there\n\n\n\nFinding accommodation during Kiel Week is notoriously difficult\, but that won’t be an issue for us. You’ll be staying at our homes\, just like during the exchanges. It would be best if you plan to arrive in Kiel between 2 pm and 7 pm.  \n\n\n\nKiel is located about 90 km north of Hamburg. Hamburg is easily accessible from across Europe by train or plane. From there\, Kiel can be reached conveniently by train. In addition\, Kiel is connected by ferry to Oslo (Norway)\, Gothenburg (Sweden)\, and Klaipėda (Lithuania). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nThe participation fee is 60 € and covers all activities\, public transport\, food\, and non-alcoholic drinks. If there is any budget remaining at the end of the event\, we will handle it transparently and decide together whether it should be refunded or reinvested into the programme. \n\n\n\nPlease note that capacity is limited: we can host a maximum of 10 participants. So once registration opens\, it will be first come\, first served. \n\n\n\nRegistration is open!!! Just click here: REGISTER.

SUMMARY:Annual Congress 2026: Wild Isles
DESCRIPTION:AC 2026 is organized by: EGEA Berlin\, EGEA Bochum\, EGEA Brussels\, EGEA Guildford\, EGEA Hannover\, EGEA Mainz\, EGEA Turku. \n\n\n\n\n\nOur congress will be about exploring the dynamic interplay across the landscapes of\, societies within and legacies created on the Isles of Britain. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKey facts\n\n\n\n\nWhere: Sayers Croft Field Centre\, Ewhurst\, United Kingdom\n\n\n\nWhen: 24th–29th August 2026\n\n\n\nCost: estimated 216 € (Group A)\n\n\n\nScientific theme: Landscapes\, Lives and Legacies\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDescription\n\n\n\nThe British Isles today are the result of a rich tapestry of events spanning from the dawn of continents to modern day geopolitics. These isles have sunbathed in Mediterranean seas during Pangea’s reign\, to later be moved and carved into the mosaic of morphologies you see today by fluvial and glacial processes. The fertile soils\, temperate conditions and abundant resources made the British Isles an attractive place to settle\, and generations of settlers and invaders have made their marks too. \n\n\n\nFrom tribal druidic Celts\, expansionist Romans\, opportunistic Pagan Anglo-Saxons and then the conquering Christian Normans\, all these cultures and societies mixed together with the unique landscapes to create some of the most famous myths and legends the UK has to offer; from Arthurian legend with Camelot and Merlin\, to Robin Hood and his band of Merry men\, to everyone’s favourite Loch Ness Monster\, Nessie. \n\n\n\nSo become part of the history\, explore these Wild Isles like those who have come before\, and let AC 2026 become part of this rich tapestry. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgram\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\nSayers Croft Outdoor Learning Centre is located at the foot of the Surrey Hills National Landscape. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccommodation\n\n\n\n\nOur accommodation is a beautifully preserved piece of World War 2 evacuee history…\n\n\n\n…with it now being used as a modern day children’s residential camp.\n\n\n\nWith six spacious dormitories with common rooms\, 3 spacious fields with campfires…\n\n\n\n…GA/dance hall combo\, a refreshing swimming pool…\n\n\n\n…and with wonderful outdoor areas to relax and unwind.\n\n\n\nIt is an ideal location for Annual Congress 2026!\n\n\n\nNot to mention the various adventurous activities which can be facilitated right on site such as archery\, axe throwing\, high ropes\, climbing and catapult building!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorkshop ideas\n\n\n\nThe scientific focus of the congress is built around three interconnected thematic pillars: Landscapes\, Lives and Legacies. \n\n\n\nThrough workshops and excursions\, the programme explores how physical landscapes have been shaped by geological and geomorphological processes\, and how human activity continues to transform them through land use\, conservation\, infrastructure and resource management. At the same time\, the congress addresses social and cultural dimensions of geography\, including education\, mobility\, agricultural practices and everyday life. A strong emphasis is placed on historical and long-term perspectives\, such as the evolution of settlements\, language\, and the lasting impacts of political and economic decisions. \n\n\n\nLandscapes\n\n\n\n\nGeomorphology: How the Landscape Formed – North to South Downs Creation\n\n\n\nAnthropomorphic impact: How Human Use Impacts the Landscape (Conservation\, National Parks\, Management)\n\n\n\nGeology – Clay / Sandstone / Ironstone Bedrocks\n\n\n\n\nLives\n\n\n\n\nEducation – The rise of outdoor education in UK education\n\n\n\nInfrastructure Railroaded – UK ‘public’ transport problem\n\n\n\n\nLegacies\n\n\n\n\nEnglish in Contact: A History of Influence and Exchange\n\n\n\nReading the Soil: Biomarker Approaches to Ancient Settlements\n\n\n\nThe Legacy of Austerity: Space\, Inequality\, and Institutional Memory\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExcursion ideas\n\n\n\nEasy hike “Pitch Hill Walk”\n\n\n\n\n\nA gentle climb up Pitch Hill\, then a scenic return through Cranleigh. Perfect for a refreshing day out! \n\n\n\n\n\nMedium hike “Trip to Shere”\n\n\n\n\nChallenge yourself with a climb via Winterfold\, then reward yourself with a beautiful tour of the quaint historic village of Shere. \n\n\n\n\nHard hike “Three Peaks Walk”\n\n\n\n\nConquer Winterfold\, Holmbury\, and Leith hill before returning via the Parrot Pub\, is a true test of endurance. \n\n\n\n\nTrip to Brighton\n\n\n\n\nEnjoy a seaside escape\, perfect for a day of sun\, sand\, and city vibes. \n\n\n\n\nTrip to Knepp Wildlife Reserve\n\n\n\n\nDiscover wild nature up close with beautiful walks and a lovely cafe to while away the day. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLeisure\n\n\n\nOur evenings will be pure magic: a British Night full of wonder\, a fantasy night with a magical pub quiz\, and karaoke so epic it could wake the dragons from their slumber. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacilities we offer\n\n\n\n\nThree big fields – good space for movement (first aid etc.)\n\n\n\nThree campfire circles – good space for discussions\n\n\n\nSix dorm classrooms with projectors – good space for presentations/table work\n\n\n\nCraft room with supplies – good space for more craft-based training\n\n\n\nWilling local experts e.g. archaeology group etc. – useful local experts\n\n\n\n56 acre woodland – good for meditation/botany/orienteering skills\n\n\n\nShelter building area – good for survival/bushcraft skill\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur Orga Team\n\n\n\n\n\nJared Young – Main CoordinatorMicol Alessandri – Main CoordinatorAlexander Basten – Main CoordinatorJonas Martens – Financial CoordinatorMatthew Becker – Fundraising CoordinatorDaniel Mclaughlin – Fundraising CoordinatorLars Kohlmeyer – Scientific CoordinatorJosefa Loreth – Programme CoordinatorCarina Farcas – Leisure CoordinatorKarla Fuentes – Leisure CoordinatorZoe La France – Participant CoordinatorMaria Prundis – Participant CoordinatorArielle Montigny – Media CoordinatorVeera Niemi – Media CoordinatorVerity Addler – Green Coordinator\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGreen initiative\n\n\n\nOur proposal to host the Annual congress 2026 ‘Wild Isles’ not only facilitates many EGEAs to visit the UK who haven’t yet been able to\, but also allows them to do so via some truly spectacular methods of transport. As such\, we are promoting our Green initiative to help create awareness to the variety of options available and we want to encourage EGEAns to travel in groups to make memorable travel experiences. \n\n\n\nDuring the congress we also will be including a sustainability bingo for our participants to play throughout the week. This involves fun tasks revealed each day and the opportunity to win prizes while making a positive sustainable impact. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to get here?\n\n\n\nFerry: Being surrounded by water has its perks\, and for participants coming by boat that means watching the beautiful White Cliffs of Dover home into view!  \n\n\n\nEurostar/Train: Ever wanted to ride a train under the sea? Well now you can! The Eurostar from Amsterdam/Brussels/Paris will bring you straight to central London! Book 2-3 months in advance for best prices. \n\n\n\nBus: If you can get to Paris or Brussels Flixbus does very cheap (albeit very long) journeys to central London! \n\n\n\nAeroplane: For those in a time crunch\, flying to Gatwick or Heathrow makes a good option with many flights to all major European airports and easy connections to Guildford\, the nearest city. Avoid Luton and Stansted airports to avoid the steep train fares to get to Guildford. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSocial media\n\n\n\nInstagram\n\n\n\nWe hope to see you at our Annual Congress 2026 in the UK – come explore the Wild Isles with us!
