CSA-EUR 2010/2011:

CSA-EUR is again looking for enthusiastic people who want to dedicate themselves as an active member. Are you looking for a challenge, do you want to meet new people and gain experience? Then become a member of the board or committee!

We are not only looking for Chinese students! Everyone who has affinity for China and/or the Chinese culture, can become an (active) member. The active members of previous years were thus a very mixed company.

Being an active member of CSA-EUR is instructive!
Learning by doing, participate in trainings. Practical experience, like organizing events is something you will never learn from your books.

Being an active member of CSA-EUR is fun!
For example, our teambuilding day is organized by and for the active members. It involves cooking, games, speed dating or do you have a another great idea?

Being an active member of CSA-EUR is networking!
You will meet a lot of new people and expand your network tremendously.

All active members gain an unforgettable experience which they will treasure their whole life!
