SV Euphorion aims to provide its Members with fun, memorable and sometimes even educational Events and Activities to augment the day-to-day of University Life. To this end, the Association has a Number of Committees, comprised of Members and at least one Boardmember, which organises various Events and Activities. These vary, from hosting Movie Nights and Borrels (a Dutch Tradition of after-work Drinks), to Museum Visits and an annual City Trip!
Being a Committee Member offers the Opportunity to not only get to know the Association and your fellow Members, but also the Chance to develop useful Skills and add your own creative Touch to Year. Plus, working together with your Committee provides the perfect seeds for lasting Friendships to grow from. After all, the social Aspects of joining a Committee are the equally – if not more – important than the Activities themselves!
Euphorion has six Committees. These are: the Party; the Literature & Film; the Travel; the Theatre and Culture; the Orientation and the Magazine Committees. Each Committee organises different types of Activities, Events and Programmes. Popular Examples from last Year include the ‘Winter Gala’, our Poetry Night, various Movie Nights, our Kareoke Evening and of course our annual Euphorion City Trip (to Lisbon, Portugal) as well as the handfull of Editions of our Association Magazine ‘Erato’s’.
To be part of a Committee, all you only need to be a member of Euphorion and be interested in a Committee!
Party Committee
Board Member: Aniek
This Committee is staple of every Study Association. Its Goal: to provide well-needed Stress-relief through fun and unforgettable Parties and Borrels! This entails the organising of (sometimes themed) Borrels and Parties in regular Intervals, including in cooperation with other Study Associations (the More, the Merrier).
Do you like helping your fellow Students unwind after stressful Weeks? Do you like making new Friends and Contacts in our Programme and the Faculty? Do you like the organising of Parties and attending them afterwards? If you answered “Yes!” to any above, then the Party Committee would be a perfect fit for you!
Literature and Film Committee
Board Members: Emmy
The “Literature and Film” Committee explores the wierd and wonderful World of Print and Audio-Visual Stories. This Committee consists of two Halves: the Film Half organises Movie Nights, Trips to the Cinema and the like, whereas the Literature Half explores the Written World of Books, Writing, Publishing and so on.
Last year, the LaF Committee organised Events such as a Poetry Night, a Publishing House Visit as well as Movie Screenings of a Number of Classic and Hidden Gem Films, all of which were highly enjoyed by Members who attended these Events!
Travel Committee
Board Members: Aniek
Books, Films and so on may allow an Escape from small, mundane Utrecht, but for a real Escape we turn to Euphorion’s Travel Committee! Over the Years they have Organised Week long Trips to various Literary Cities across Europe. These include: Wien, Lisbon, Berlin, Barcelona and Edinburgh! Each Trip has involved various side Activities, Day Trips, Meals out and lots of great Memories to take back Home afterwards. All of the past trips were rated successful by the attending Members and so will the future ones (hopefully!) Join this Committee to help plan the next Annual Trip, making it fun, exciting and memorable!
Theathre & Culture Commitee
Board Member: Amber
Our Study Programme and Books give us tantalising glimpses at the beautiful World that is Culture. However, Culture is something to be experienced! Thus, this Committee makes Room to explore various Cultures, familiar and foreign, their Art, Food, Music and much more.
Activities that this Committee organises include Museum and Theather Visits and Cultural Exchange Events. If you have Ideas bubbling up when you think of Culture or Theatre and want to share them with your fellow Members, while also developing organisational Skills, consider this Committee!
Magazine Committee
Board Member: Emmy & Chloe
As the Literary Studies Study Association, SV Euphorion has many talented and enthusiastic Writers and Editors in its ranks. For them, the Magzine Committee organises the ‘Erato’s Magazine’, named for one of the Mythical Greek Muses. Erato’s is a quarterly literary Magazine which collects literary and visual Works from Members, Students and other Volunteer Contributors and publishes these in Unique Themed Editions.
All are welcome to contribute, under Pen-names, Pseudonyms or actual Names, and can submit anything from Prose Short-Stories, to Poetry, Reports and also Artworks and Photographs. This Committee doesn’t organise Events like the others do, but focus on the Magzine and its Editions instead. For more Information you can visit their Instagram (@eratosmagazine) or the Erato’s Page on this Site! (Coming soon)
If you’re a Writer, Editor, or have an interest in Publishing or organising, why not contribute and/or join the Magzine Committee!
