Social Programme

 

Welcome Dinner on Sunday, 3 August 2008

On Sonday evening we had the opportunity to visit the traditional Viennese "Heuriger Feuerwehr Wagner". “Heuriger” is the Viennese term for the wine of the last grape harvest. And it is also the name of the places where this wine is served.

Reception at the Vienna City Hall on Monday, 4 August 2008
Monday evening, after the first day of negotiations in the committees, the delegates have been hosted by the Mayor of Vienna, Dr. Michael Häupl, in the impressive town hall. An official representative of the Viennese Government will welcomed the delegates. They had also the possibility to shake a leg and try out Viennese food.

Reception at the Diplomatic Academy Vienna on Tuesday, 5 August 2008

After the free afternoon, where the delegates had the possibility to explore downtown Vienna, they were invited at the Diplomatic Academy Vienna (DA). The DA  offers postgraduate training which prepares young graduates for the varied challenges of an international career. The Academy equips its students with the academic qualifications, the language training, intercultural competences and management skills which are today the essential and often decisive prerequisites for the successful entry into many international professions and a subsequent interesting career. It is open to graduates of any discipline and of any nationality.

There was a short lecture about the academic programmes of the DA, afterwards a buffet. There was also the opportunity to play the piano, sing and dance!

 

Clubbing on Wednesday, 6 August 2008

On Wednesday, the last day of our MUN, there was a big party. We visited Club Berlin. It was a great evening!
