The Activities Committee works as a group to create and organize social events for their fellow peers. What makes these events stand out is the aim to bring people together through shared interests and passions, while also offering the chance to get together in different and new settings, rather than purely educational. From pub quizzes to chess tournaments, the Activities Committee organises engaging events for entertainment, meeting peers, and also just simply winding down. There’s plenty to do and look forward to for Symposion members thanks to this committee! Bring your friends, plus one, or come on your own and enjoy nights to look back on with fond memories.

If you are interested in providing your peers with fun activities, then sign up to this committee!

The Broadcast Committee produces (digital) media for Symposion members to enjoy. Over the last years, the Committee has compiled podcasts, newsletters and YouTube videos. This committee offers a lot of creative freedom and welcomes dedicated members with a vision. It is up to the next committee to decide what they want to create together. 

If you are passionate about digital media and sharing your ideas with a larger audience, then this committee is for you!

The Education Committee focuses on events and projects of educational nature. The committee’s aim is to incorporate in its events the crucial and often-overlooked foundation of doing philosophy, that of combining new philosophical ideas with immediate open discussion. Dialogue is essential because it enhances philosophical ideas: an open thought may be challenged, and hence has far more value and potential than an idea kept hidden.

The Education Committee runs events such as Pub Lectures and Philosophy Nights. The committee also organises tutoring for various BA courses such as Logic and Ethics. And in addition to these core projects, there is still time and energy for some special events, which any committee member can propose to the team!

The Study Trip Committee organises a trip for a limited amount of members each year. They pick a few places in Europe on which the members can vote, and when a place has been democratically picked the committee will start planning the trip. This includes a place to stay, the plane/train tickets, a small guide + activities and a last supper.
