EUROPA Europa aims to increase awareness of European issues and encourage engagement, debate & understanding of the role of the EU. Europe is an ever-changing political and social landscape, and we believe it is important to have plenty of debate and discussion on campus on European issues that affect all of our lives. Our events range from political to cultural, and we aim to have something for everyone - whether that is a debate, a language night or a celebration of European food. Over the past couple of years, [email protected] we have had events that ranged from a full day conference on the European Union and its role in the lives of young Irish people, to an evening of European food and Eurovision songs. UCC is very lucky to have a diverse student body, and we have students from all across the European Union studying on our campus. Europa aims to create intercultural awareness and understanding through our events, as well as make people aware of the opportunities they have as EU students, such as the Erasmus + programme. ucceuropa ucceuropa FASHION If you have an interest in anything to do with style, creativity or fashion, then you will be warmly welcomed into the Fashion Soc!
