SUMMARY:East & MEDITERRANEAN REGIONAL CONGRESS 2025: EUROPEAN TOURISM: SHAPED BY TIME\, TRANSFORMED BY GEOPOLITICS
DESCRIPTION:Introduction\n\n\n\nHello guys and welcome to our first and beloved East & Mediterranean Regional Congress 2025 hosted by EGEA Timisoara and EGEA Cluj-Napoca! \n\n\n\nIn Eastern and Mediterranean Europe\, tourism was heavily shaped by the political and economic system. The socialist regime limited traveling abroad\, focusing on domestic tourism and arranging group travel to other countries. Due to the well-developed infrastructure and limited services in Eastern Europe\, tourism was aimed at middle-class workers. Tourism was heavily controlled\, limiting foreigners’ access to certain areas. In the Mediterranean regions\, countries such as Greece and Turkey\, although not communist\, were caught in the middle of the Cold War\, which also impacted their tourism industries. \n\n\n\nIn contrast\, Western Europe operated in a free-market system\, attracting millions of global tourists with developed infrastructure\, iconic cultural landmarks\, and diverse accommodations. Citizens had the freedom to travel internationally\, making the region a major global tourism hub.Therefore\, the fall of the Iron Curtain 35 years ago marked a significant turning point in European history and tourism\, ending the isolation between Eastern and Western Europe. Eastern Europe modernized and opened to international tourism\, while Western Europe retained its more developed and globally renowned status. Once-inaccessible cities like Prague\, Budapest\, and Bratislava now offer a blend of history\, architecture\, and culture. \n\n\n\nTogether with our partners\, we\, the EMRC 2025 Orga Team\, are eager to show European geographers how tourism in Europe was shaped by time and influenced by geopolitics. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur congress accommodation will be in Straja-Lupeni\, at Cabana Daiana. It is very cozy and surrounded by Carpathian Mountains. Go and check it out on our instagram page.P.S.: we didn’t post any pictures with the food\, because we didn’t want to make you hungry.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhow much time till EMRC 2025?\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrograme\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPotential workshops\n\n\n\n\nThe differences in tourism between east and west\n\n\n\n\n\nComparison of tourism evolution before and after the fall of the communism\n\n\n\n\n\nThe migration of ethnic groups from the eastern area\n\n\n\n\n\nUrban development in the East-Mediterranean Region\n\n\n\n\n\nTourism development in non-EU and EU areas\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHi guys\, the wait if over! Now you can fill the form and apply as a workshop or training leader at the EMRC 2025!!!!  \n\n\n\nDon t think too much\, you have time till the 29th of January. \n\n\n\nYou can find the link to the form down below! \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nLink\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you feel like you cannot make it because of money\, you can always fill out the support fund form\, but do it before the registration is closed. \n\n\n\nhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/1bk3Kg5n5AaOMytImJ8clhqo6goDMDR-Nb2-4ofC8aMs/viewform?edit_requested=true \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCountdown until registration close! \n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\nHow to get there:\n\n\n\n\nTrainBusCyclingHitchhikingPlane\n\nWhich station do I go? \n\n\n\nThe closest train station to Straja Resort is Petrosani\, at around 26km away\, but there are no Internationat Trains that stop there. There are multiple trains that come from either Vienna or Budapest that stop at Simeria train station which is 80km away from Petrosani (or 2 and a half hours by train) and you have accesible train connections. From Petrosani there are no direct buses to the resort\, but they lead to Lupeni Town. From there\, you can either take a taxi\, or we will pick you up. \n\n\n\nWhat is the best train fare for me? \n\n\n\nThere are no reduced fares for international students in Romania. \n\n\n\nThe road leading to Straja from Lupeni is well-mentained\, but beware\, it is pretty narrow and steep! You can park your car at the Resort\, but parking is limited. \n\n\n\n\n\nThere are no interntional buses stopping near Straja\, the closest being Flixbus stopping in Deva City. From there you can take the train to Petrosani.  \n\n\n\nThere are buses from Petrosani to Lupeni running at regular intervals\, depending on the time of the day and the week. From there we can pick you up or you can take a taxi.  \n\n\n\nLink to the bus schedule in Petrosani: https://cniptpetrosani.ro/local-transport/?lang=en \n\n\n\n\n\nCycling in Romania is dangerous because of the absence of biking infrastructure. Also\, drivers are not used with bikes on main roads and they may be aggressive or not pay enough attention to you. \n\n\n\n\n\nPeople in Romania do hitchhike often and people will pick you up. Just get ready for the most balkanic car ride of your life and hold on tight. \n\n\n\n\n\nClosest aiport is Sibiu Airport\, where you will need to take the bus to the train station. There is no direct train from Sibiu to Petrosani\, you will need to change one. \n\n\n\nOther airports around Straja are Timisoara and Cluj-Napoca. You can only take a direct train from Cluj-Napoca; from Timisoara you will need one change. \n\n\n\n\n\nContact data:\n\n\n\n\nif you have any questions feel free to contact us:\n\n\n\nInstagram\n\nMail\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExcursions \n\n\n\n Deva Fortress & Corvin Castle \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTârgu Jiu (Brâncuși’s Masterpieces and City Landmarks) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHard Hike – Piule Peak & Easy Hike – Straja Resort & Straja Peak \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorkshops \n\n\n\n\nTourism in Contrast: Exploring Eastern & Western Perspectives\nAll of geographers love tourism\, but do we perceive it differently based on which part of Europe we are from? In this workshop we’ll explore how geography\, culture\, and history influence travel destinations\, experiences\, and traveler preferences in the two regions. Join us as we question how the East and West of Europe compare in their tourism offerings and discover what sets them apart – or if they’re more similar than we think! \n\n\n\n\nEchoes of the Past: Exploring Romania’s Folklore and Communist-Era Tourism\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nTourism Through Time: Evolution Before & After the Fall of Communism\nHow did tourism function under communist rule\, and how has it transformed in the decades since? In this workshop\, we’ll explore the dramatic shifts in travel culture\, accessibility\, and tourism development before and after 1989.During the communist era\, tourism was heavily regulated\, with state-controlled resorts\, limited international travel\, and carefully curated experiences for both locals and foreign visitors. After the fall of communism\, a wave of change swept through the industry—borders opened\, private businesses flourished\, and new destinations emerged on the global travel map.Through interactive discussions\, we’ll analyze how these changes shaped traveler behavior\, infrastructure\, and national tourism strategies\, while also considering the lasting impact of the past on modern tourism trends. Whether you’re interested in history\, geopolitics\, or travel evolution\, this session will give you a new perspective on how political shifts redefine the way we explore the world.

SUMMARY:NORTH & BALTIC REGIONAL CONGRESS 2025: FROM ICE TO LIFE
DESCRIPTION:How many Days until NBRC 2025?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIntroduction\n\n\n\nIt has been seven years since the last regional congress was held in Finland\, and we are thrilled to invite you\, dear Egeans\, to NBRC 2025! Finland\, a nation of 5.6 million\, is celebrated for its happiness\, design\, and distinct four seasons. During the congress\, nature will awaken from its winter slumber\, offering a chance to welcome the sun and enjoy the arrival of spring while immersing yourself in Finnish culture and enjoying the company of other Egeans.  \n\n\n\nThe congress is organized by EGEA Helsinki\, EGEA Turku and EGEA Oulu \n\n\n\n\nParticipant fee: 139\,80€\n\n\n\n\n\nAvailable spots: 81\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFollow us on instagram\n\n\n\nStay up to date by following us on Instagram! If you have questions don’t hesitate to ask us via Instagram. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Theme\n\n\n\nThe theme of the congress is the impact of the Ice Age on Finland. Almost every part of the country has been shaped by the massive ice sheets or meltwaters of the Weichselian glaciation. These forces created Finland’s unique landscape and still have an effect today: even 10\,000 years later\, land uplift is adding about 7 square kilometers to Finland’s area each year. \n\n\n\nModern Finnish life is built on this Ice Age legacy. Ridges form natural bridges over lakes\, land uplift creates fertile fields for farming\, and moraine soil filters some of the world’s cleanest drinking water. The retreating glaciers also gave us 180\,000 lakes\, making water a central part of our daily life\, economy\, and culture. The traces of the Ice Age remain vital today and will continue to shape Finland for generations to come. \n\n\n\nAre you ready to explore the ice age’s impact on the society\, environment and scenery? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccomodation\n\n\n\n\n\nPicture credits: Alex Inkiläinen\n\n\n\n\n\nPicture credits: Alex Inkiläinen\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nPicture credits: Alex Inkiläinen\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nLake side.

See more pictures here! \n\n\n\nKiljavan Leirikeskus (Kiljava camping center) is located in the heart of beautiful Finnish nature\, offering a peaceful congress venue. Surrounded by lush forests and set near the serene waters of Lake Märkiö\, the area provides a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The natural landscape invites all egeans to unwind and connect with Finnish nature. \n\n\n\nThe venue itself is beautifully balanced with nature\, and our accommodation building\, named Kassu\, offers facilities for 75 participants in bunk beds within cozy 4–6-person compartments. The accomodation doesn’t provide pillows or plankets\, so mind that you need to bring your own sleeping bag\, pillow and bed sheet! The venue offers 13 indoor toilets\, with two accessible toilets located in the basement and on the first floor. There is one smaller sauna in the basement that comfortably seats 12\, while the lakeside sauna has a shared electric sauna with space for 20 people. There are two separate dressing and shower rooms which provide an opportunity to go to the sauna together. \n\n\n\nOur wonderful kitchen team\, which consists of eight amazing egeans\, is eager to serve you healthy\, delicious\, vegetarian or vegan meals made from local ingredients.  \n\n\n\nKiljavan Leirikeskus is a perfect blend of practicality\, comfort\, and a connection to nature. The lakeside area is particularly inviting and offers possibilities for swimming or canoeing etc. The grounds are spacious and offer plenty of room for outdoor games by the water and woods. With its combination of modern amenities\, thoughtful design\, and breathtaking surroundings\, Kiljavan leirikeskus is a perfect location for NBRC 2025 and we warmly welcome you all to enjoy your time with us. \n\n\n\nWe are organizing a group transportation from Helsinki to the scout center and back! \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorkshops\n\n\n\nWe are having five amazing workshops lead by eight wonderful egeans around Europe! Here you can learn about our workshop topics and leaders. \n\n\n\n1. Mobile big data in studying human-nature interactions\nTopic: \n\n\n\nHow do people use national parks? What activities do they prefer? How do they move around? In this workshop we will use mobile big data sources derived from social media and activity tracking platforms to study human-nature interactions in Finnish national parks! We will use open source tools such as QGIS and Python. We will keep it simple so don’t worry if you don’t have much prior experience with these! \n\n\n\nThe leaders of this workshop: \n\n\n\nEliška: My name is Eliška and I was born and raised in Prague. I specialize in geoinformatics and I enjoy programming. I’m looking forward to exploring the Finnish nature and culture\, spending some quality time with other EGEAns and\, of course\, sauna! \n\n\n\nMax: I’m Max from EGEA Jena. I’ve specialized in geoinformatics and remote sensing and am currently working on my master thesis in cooperation with the ETH Zürich. Social media geodata can reveal some interesting insights into human behaviour so I’m looking forward to exploring this data together with you. And like my co-leader I’m excited for some Finnish sauna nights! \n\n\n\n\n2. Mapping of geomorphological features\nTopic: \n\n\n\nFinland’s unique landforms have been shaped by the Ice Age. In this workshop\, first we will explore the glacigenic and glacifluvial processes that have shaped these landforms. We will look into existing data sets\, exploring some of the most interesting geomorphological areas in Finland. After this we will visit some of these formations in the field and learn about how we can map them in more detail using field research methods.  \n\n\n\nThe leaders of this workshop: \n\n\n\nMikko: I’m Mikko from EGEA Helsinki. I specialize in geoinformatics and just finished my thesis where I studied mountain biking with activity tracking data! I’m interested in all things related to GIS and I hope to use my skills in the future to improve outdoor recreation’s sustainability. In my free time I enjoy cycling\, hiking and running long distances. As the science coordinator\, I’m super excited about the workshops and training sessions of our congress. Just wish I could participate in all of them!  \n\n\n\nAapo: I am Aapo from EGEA Helsinki. My speciality is physical geography\, but I also have work experience with satellite positioning and remote sensing. I am currently working with my bachelor thesis about restorating rivers. I can’t wait to show you the amazing Finnish geomorphology and teach some mapping methods together with Mikko. \n\n\n\n\n3. Exploration of Finnish Lakes\nTopic: \n\n\n\nAre you curious about the secrets of Finnish lakes and love being outdoors? In the Lake Hydrology Workshop\, we will discover lake formations and ecosystems\, collect water samples\, and explore diverse aquatic environments. This hands-on experience is perfect for you if you are passionate about hydrology and fieldwork. \n\n\n\nThe leaders of this workshop: \n\n\n\nWe are Paweł and Eliina\, a collaborative team from Kraków and Turku.Eliina: I am from EGEA Turku. I specialize in physical geography\, and am interested in water environments and monitoring changes happening in them. I’m really looking forward to giving some insight into Finnish nature\, and meeting both new and old egeans. \n\n\n\nPaweł: I come from Poland and I roll with the EGEA Kraków crew. I specialise in physical geography. Usually I work with hydrology and soil science teams but try not to limit myself to very narrow subjects. I look forward to spending some quality time outdoors\, discovering the Finnish environment and hopefully meeting some other fieldwork enthusiasts. \n\n\n\n\n4. Reindeers\, Dog sledding and endless nightskies with the pole star and northern lights…\nTopic: \n\n\n\nThe ideas and images we have about authentic experiences in northern Finland are endless and an invitation to dream of a simpler life in nature. Can reality confirm this dream? Join this workshop to learn about what authenticity has to do with tourism in northern Finland and get to know the role the Sami play as native inhabitants of the far north.  \n\n\n\nThe leaders of this workshop: \n\n\n\nMalte Rohrmoser: Hi I’m Malte\, I am studying Geography in Osnabrück and I am currently finishing my Master of Education to become a teacher. Power Relations between stakeholders and cultural ownership fascinate me\, which is why I’m looking forward to learning about these topics with y’all. Besides\, I am realy looking forward to enjoy the finish Sauna during the NBRC. \n\n\n\nHenrik Stein: Moin I’m Henrik and I am currently finishing my Masters Degree in Tourism and sutainable regional development and also work as a project manager in public transit. I had the opportunity to study northern tourism at the university of Oulu and the implications of cultural authenticity as well as general conflicts in the field of tourism interest me. I am happy to share the things I’ve learned and gather new insides. I am also realy looking forward for Sauna. \n\n\n\n\n5. The significance of Finnish soil\nTopic: \n\n\n\nFinland’s landscape has been shaped by its glacial history\, resulting in a diverse range of soil types that influence everything from forestry and agriculture to construction and environmental conservation. Understanding these soils is crucial for sustainable land use\, economic growth\, and climate resilience. \n\n\n\nIf you’re not afraid to get your hands dirty\, join us in this workshop where we’ll be learning about different types of soil and soil management in Finland and its impact on agriculture\, forestry\, energy sector and country’s overall economy and environment.   \n\n\n\nThe leaders of this workshop: \n\n\n\nBarbara Kurtov: Hi! I’m Barbara and I’m currently finishing my Master’s in Physical Geography with Geoecology at the University of Zagreb. Although my focus of research is physical geography\, I’m more interested in interdisciplinary approach when it comes to learning about the environment. What I’m looking forward the most on this year’s NBRC is the nature\, the sauna (of course)\, Minttu and The Moomins! See ya! \n\n\n\nOgnjen Ožegović: My name is Ognjen Ožegović and I live in Zagreb my whole life. Only time I moved is moving to another neighbourhood. My favourite field in Geography is Cultural Geography because I like to look for some meanings in landscape and because learning about different people’s cultures is also my hobby. Also\, I love learning languages as much as I can. My other hobbies are reading (searching for knowledge)\, cycling and roller-skating. I’m looking forward to learn something more about physical geography and by that to sharpen my knowledge. I also want to say that I really appreciate time spent in nature or rural area what’s a big wish for literally every city resident\, to be honest. That’s why I applied for this congress. See you in Finland! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTrainings\n\n\n\nWe are having four amazing training sessions organized by wonderful egeans around Europe! Here you can learn about our trainings and leaders.  \n\n\n\n1. Rights4All?\nTopic: \n\n\n\nDid you know that many young people face barriers to their basic rights—sometimes without even realizing it? In this interactive training\, you’ll take part in a group task that simulates different conditions of participation. The activity creates space to experience collaboration and to reflect on how human rights can be limited in everyday situations. \n\n\n\nThrough guided discussion\, we’ll connect the experience to real-world issues like discrimination and social inequality. You’ll also explore the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and develop small\, practical ideas for how to stand up for equal rights in your own environment. \n\n\n\nThe leaders of this training: \n\n\n\nIndia: I am a member of EGEA Marburg and I am in the Master’s program “Sustainable Development”. This is going to be my first congress and I am very excited to meet you all\, have great time together and to learn something about Finland. I hope I will be able to give you something on the way with our training 😊 \n\n\n\nNicole: I am from EGEA Marburg and I’m currently finishing my Master’s degree in English\, philosophy and politics. While I don’t study geography or geology directly\, I’m very interested in global topics and I’m committed to educating my students to become responsible global citizens. I am very excited to go to Finland because I look forward to get to know you and learn from each other. 🙂 \n\n\n\n\n2. Group Dynamics: A Role-Playing Adventure\nTopic: \n\n\n\nDid you know that every group—whether it’s your study team\, a professional project\, or your circle of friends—has both visible and invisible roles? And that these roles are given to people both on purpose and sometimes without anyone even realizing it? Understanding these dynamics is key to better collaboration and communication in any group setting. \n\n\n\nJoin us for an engaging awareness training that dives into how these roles are formed\, assigned\, and how they shape group interactions. Whether you’re navigating group projects or preparing for international teamwork\, this session will give you the tools to see beyond the surface. \n\n\n\nThe leaders of this training: \n\n\n\nYour two lovely training masters will be Laurent from Switzerland and Alexandra from Austria. \n\n\n\nAlexandra: I am from EGEA Vienna and currently studying GIS\, but in my free time I love everything related to geomorphology! Some of my favorite memories involve volcanoes\, glaciers\, caves or really cool rocks:) I did my Erasmus in Finland so now I am looking forward to experiencing the finnish house-at-the-lake lifestyle again. \n\n\n\nLaurent: I am from EGEA Zürich\, and I completed my master’s degree in Geology\, so unsurprisingly my favourite field is geology\, although geomorphology is a close second. I’m looking forward to reconnect with old EGEA friends\, make some new ones\, have a nice trip to Finland\, which is one of my favourite places in Europe – and of course\, to be co-leading this training 🙂 \n\n\n\n\n3. Hey\, let’s take a bath in the forest  🛁🫧🌿🌳\nTopic: \n\n\n\nEver heard of shinrin yoku? The Japanese practice\, known as “forest bathing\,” involves spending time in a forest to relax\, reduce stress\, and improve well-being. It encourages mindfulness and a deep connection with nature. The busy congress days can drain your energy and it can be hard to find some relaxing time for yourself. This is why we would like to invite you for a relaxing time in the beautiful Finnish forest! What place could be better for a forest bath than this congress location? 💚🌿🌱 \n\n\n\nThe leaders of this training: \n\n\n\nWho we are? Alina and Laura! We‘re both from Bochum\, studying Geography at our lovely RUB and we’re a part of EGEA Bochum since 2022.  \n\n\n\nAlina: I recently discovered my interest in remote sensing and GIS\, although I’m also still very much invested in everything related to mountains and especially glaciers. The most exciting thing will be to see Finland for the time and maybeee try a sauna! \n\n\n\nLaura: I’m also excited about mountains and glaciers and I just looove to be on field trips to nerd out about everything geographical out there. For this congress I’m most excited about finding some glacial traces\, getting to know Finland and meeting some old and new friends 🙂 \n\n\n\n\n4. First aid\nTopic: \n\n\n\nFirst-Aid Training is very important because everybody should know the basics and refresh them regularly. It is one easy way to make the world a safer place if everyone knows how to save someone else’s life in everyday situations! In this training session you will learn the basics of First-Aid from experienced teachers! \n\n\n\nThe leaders of this training: \n\n\n\nThis training will be done by Luca and Arne from Egea Marburg 😉 We are also both more into physical Geography\, Arne even has Geology as second subject. That’s also why we are especially interested in this congress\, since it‘s the only one with a more physical topic. \n\n\n\nFor the Training theme we want to do a Basic First aid course. It’s a topic that can not be talked about enough and Arne already did it successfully at NBRC24 and AC24. Arne worked as paramedic Assistant for one year before Uni and Luca also has extended first aid Knowledge\, that’s why we feel appropriate to do a beginners course. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExcursions\n\n\n\n\n\nWe are organizing three amazing excursions to various interesting places around Uusimaa province\, Southern Finland\, giving you an opportunity to dive into Finnish culture and nature! \n\n\n\nRajamäki beverage plant and alcohol museum\nIn this excursion you have an opportunity to go and explore the Finnish war history and the significance of alcohol production during WWII. The Factory and Alcohol Museum Rajamäen Ryyppi is a journey through the history of Finnish labor\, industry\, and alcohol culture. \n\n\n\n\nHard hike to the Finnish forest\nIn this excursion we will hike deep into the Finnish forest to practice outdoor skills\, make food on a campfire and experience the unique Finnish right to roam! \n\n\n\n\nBus excursion to Porvoo\nIn this excursion we will visit the city of Porvoo and its surrounding areas. We will visit the Baltic coastline and archipelago\, the famous old town of Porvoo and Finland’s biggest giant’s kettle site that was formed by the ice age! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDo you need financial support?\n\n\n\nPlease keep in mind that you can apply EGEA support fund if you need financial support! Fill the application from here! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCan’t wait to see you in Finland! <3
