HAPPY TUESDAY!

Is your exchange ending and you want to get rid of unnecessary kitchenware you might have accumulated during your exchange? You can donate your unwanted glasses, mugs, plates, kitchen utensils, pots and pans to the Student Union! We'll use them to make more Survival Packages for the next incoming exchange students. Please note that we accept only items that are clean and still usable so please do not donate anything broken.

Have a great week!

Kind regards,
