Warming soups and hotdogs should help keep out the chill. Remember to wrap up warm and bring a mug for your soup. A special glow-in-the-dark surprise for children will be provided.

Christmas party and quiz
Sign up by 31 October
Saturday 6 December, 7 pm. Bande à Part, 4 rue Pierre Bucher, 67000 Strasbourg
Our annual Christmas party is once again just around the corner. This year we will gather together in a private location, namely at “Bande à Part”, 4 rue Bucher, Strasbourg, a restaurant/wine bar, situated near Place de la République. Organising our Christmas Party in town allows us to welcome up to 50 people.
The theme for this year’s party and quiz will take you back to the 70s, also called “disco era”. The 1970s were an iconic decade marked by profound societal, cultural, political, and technological changes. With its protest movements, technological advances, musical transformations, and economic shifts, this period continues to influence the contemporary world. They were also a time of great creativity and style, epitomised by disco music and its wild parties.
Join us if you want to be part of what is certain to be a really enjoyable evening with your ESC friends. In previous years, we have made it a habit to dress up in accordance to the theme of the party. So, this year again, it’s totally up to you to wear whatever makes you feel in the “disco” mood and customise your clothes as much as you want.
Food (buffet dinner) and drinks (one glass for the appetiser and one glass of wine) will be provided at a subsidized price of €20 per member. If you are interested in this event, we recommend you sign-up as rapidly as possible, the deadline to finalise the booking at “Bande à Part” being 31 October.
