Film Screening & Discussion: SURF ON, EUROPE!

Erasmus students and other students interested in European issues are warmly invited to a film screening and discussion at the EU Commission's Regional Office in Bonn. Dr. Stefan Lock, Head of the Regional Office, will moderate an engaging screening of the documentary film "SURF ON, EUROPE!"

This film, nominated for Best Documentary at the Max Ophüls Prize 2024, provides deep insights into societal challenges in Europe, told through the stories of three surfers:

• Majid from Tarifa, who struggles to bring his family from Morocco to Europe.
• Margaux from Biarritz, who challenges gender stereotypes and organizes Europe's first LGBTQ+-friendly surf festival.
• Rosy from Derry, who uses surfing to escape the Northern Ireland conflict and ventures into self-employment as a surfboard maker.

Programme:

• Welcome by Dr. Stefan Lock
• Film screening
• Discussion with director Noah von Thun and other guests

This event is specifically aimed at Erasmus students and students interested in European social issues, political developments, and the unifying power of sports.

Join us and be part of the discussion!
