This three-day gathering of students and faculty members of the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies opens the new academic year through a shared stay outside the university environment. The event is intended for all years and study programs within the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies, while also serving as an introductory orientation event for first-year students.
The event creates a space for mutual connection: between first-year and senior students, between philosophy and religious studies, and between students and faculty members. The program combines an introduction to university studies, academic lectures, and discussions with informal activities and shared free time.
The stay will also include an optional hike with a stop at a lake, so we recommend bringing suitable footwear and swimwear. Activities such as board games, sports equipment, and sports facilities (volleyball, badminton, basketball, etc.) will be available. Evening bonfires will be accompanied by an informal music program, so all musical instruments are welcome!
