Jazz, Food Trucks and New Friends

June 10th, Eucor Festival in Karlsruhe brings together students from all five member universities of Eucor - The European Campus.

Orga-Team Festival EucorThree countries, five universities, one festival: On June 10, 2017 a festival for all students from the European Campus member universities gathered at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) to celebrate the festival. Anna David and Lauriane Wolf, students who were completing their practical training at the University of Strasbourg and KIT under the aegis of the Franco-German Youth Office, had organized the event. They were also receiving support from the Franco-German Initiative at KIT, the Eucor student council, students and employees from the five universities.

„The purpose of the festival is to have students get to know the idea behind the European campus beyond the curriculum itself,“ says Anna David. „We want to inspire people, bring them together and show them what the European Campus has in store for us all,“ adds Lauriane Wolf.


Plans for 2018 

The Franco-German duo had put together a jam-packed program: during the festival seven bands from five cities and three countries performed. A student band was represented from each of the five Eucor cities: Basel, Freiburg, Mulhouse, Karlsruhe and Strasbourg. „The sounds range from Indie pop to jazz groove electro and punk rock. There is something for everyone,“ explains Wolf. „And of course a ton of drinks, food trucks, cocktails and even a beer island,“ says David.

Even though their practical training ended shortly after the festival, David’s and Wolf’s legacy will remain for European Campus students well beyond their departure. A continuation of the festival is already being planned in Strasbourg for 2018. The duo’s successors should continue the initiative.
