What does DACE do? DACE is the newest addition to Etcetera’s committees. As part of DACE, you organise and participate in a performance that will take place in a real theatre. You can also arrange visits to plays, musicals, or whatever really that allows you and fellow members to explore your thespian side! As a core member of DACE, you participate in a committee meeting once a week to discuss
Hi everyone! We are TraCe – the travel committee for Etcetera ✨ We are super excited to plan fun day trips, the Member’s Weekend, and the study trip at the end of the year! Chair Kiki van Heusden (she/her): I look forward to exploring some fabulous destinations with all of you, visiting everything from bookstores and museums to wacky tourist traps and trashy souvenir shops. Tag along sometime this year
With almost 50 participants, the workshop was a success! LLACE was excited to see so many familiar and new faces on Zoom, and we all hope that Dr. Carr’s tips will help you write that perfect essay. Now you know how to start your essay, how to build your arguments, how to wrap it all up in a conclusion – and most importantly, time-management is key to a good essay. Special
As you can tell from our smiling faces, LLACE’s bookclub was a success! We had a lot of fun with everyone who attended, and we thoroughly enjoyed discussing ‘Persepolis’ with you 📚Watching a video to get to know Marjane Satrapi, summarizing the two volumes, hearing your thoughts on the story, discussing characters, various themes and symbols, the political background, quotes, and the illustrations – all of that was a blast!Big thanks
Here are some impressions of LLACE’s movie night! We hope you had as much fun as we did! If you couldn’t attend, do not fret, because we will be hosting many more events in the future (including our bookclub next week!).
By last years chair, Jeremy Larsen: “I became Chair of LLACE in my first year in the English Language and Culture programme, which turned out to be a largely beneficial experience for me. It allowed me to become familiar with fellow students, professors, the organisation of on-campus events and the workings of Etcetera early on. Through leading the committee in the planning and executing of literature and language related events,
It was time to feel the stones of Leidseplein under our hands again for the annual pub crawl our activities committee organises every year. The heat of De Gieter, the first bar of the evening, instantly put us in a good mood. Our winter coats were dropped in a corner and beer streamed down our throats; the night had begun! After some good conversations we moved on to the surprise
Have you ever had to make an (embarrassing) vlog in the hallway of PCH right next to a full class of people? No? Well one of us has! Playing a Secret Santa dice game, on which one side of the dice read ‘truth’ and another read ‘dare’ MIGHT have led to this. I dare you to come to the ACE’s next Secret Santa and have as jolly a time as
Before the 17th of May it was thought more than unlikely to peacefully get civil rights ambassador Malcom X, a giant, men-eating whale and a creative, but struggling 17 year old girl, into one room. Yet, Etcetera once again accomplished the close to impossible. LLACE’s Books that will save your life took place in the UvA’s library and brought forth three intriguing speakers, together with their stories on how certain
On the 2nd of May several members of Etcetera gathered at café Schuim for an event organized by both the LLACE and the ACE, and what does one get when combining thought-through literature and plain, eventful fun? The enjoyable, mildly shocking combination of rapidly written spawns known as fan fiction. Write Fight started off with a small pub quiz: Teams were made, and afterwards given names – about which I
