EitW 1999-2000

June 18, 2011

|||| From Amanda Mancini I am sure every alumnus who has shared a memory has thought that their particular group was the best, but I say mine truly was. There were ups and downs, some love and hate but that is to be expected when throwing 19 different personalities from completely different walks of...

Dreams & Plans

June 18, 2011

|||| From Jonas Magnusson A lot happened in 1991-1992. The Soviet Union broke up, The Baltic states gained independence, Yugoslavia went to war. I noticed, but I did not reflect much upon the historical significance of the events. I was too busy in Holland and Denmark,  Strasbourg, Brussels and Milano. So many dreams going...

Heels on wheels

A Montrealer’s affair with the Dutch bicycle |||| From Kinia Adamczyk, Montreal Europe in the World 2007/2008 Arriving in Utrecht was akin to stepping off the Hogwart’s Express into Harry Potter’s wizarding world, except that instead of witches and wizards on brooms, I saw the Dutch whizzing by on their bicycles at (relatively) incredible...

O Euro ironist, where art thou?

June 15, 2011

|||| From Charlotte Boström Europe is going to save my career. Europe has to save my career. With that desperate approach I signed up for Europe in the World one month past deadline. Only God (and Arie) knows why I was accepted despite my late effort to conquer Europe. One year after getting my...

Me, Europe and the World

June 14, 2011

|||| From Peter Teffer Most memories I have about the Europe in the World programme are those that I acquired in social life. Especially when I was away from home, the half year that we spent in Aarhus Denmark, it was great to have fun and interesting people around me. But what did I...

Point of no return

June 6, 2011

|||| From Sanne Vermaas Eating and drinking. That’s Europe in the World 2000. Chocolate at Sinterklaas, drinking in Stef’s at the School of Journalism in Utrecht, the beer machine at the Danish School of Journalism, Danish cakes for lunch in the canteen, Danish Christmas lunch in January, and a lovely weekend at Kattagat Srand...

In the mirror, a funny phase

May 31, 2011

|||| From Alexander Kristofersson   In terms of career usefulness, my 1995–96 EitW year soon came to look like a lost weekend. But oh, did we have a good time. By Swedish measures, theory never beats practice, and indications of a particular interest in European issues puts stone to burden. I can’t remember any...
