The Prize is awarded to projects undertaken by young people that foster understanding, promote the development of a shared sense of European identity, and offer practical examples of Europeans living together as one community.

About Buddy Programme

– offering international degree students the true Aarhus Experience!

Aarhus University, Business and Social Sciences along with Studenterlauget are once again proud to present the Buddy Programme. The overall purpose of the Buddy Programme is to improve the mutual integration of the international degree students and the Danish students attending BSS as well as to create close relationships and introduce the international degree students to the true Aarhus Experience.

The programme provides each international degree student with a Buddy – a volunteer BSS student. The purpose is then to give the local and the international students at Business and Social Sciences an opportunity to grow friendly bonds through social events and parties arranged merely for the Buddies and the international degree students. The idea behind the programme is to ease the transition for the new international degree students when settling in Aarhus, and to ensure that they get the best possible start in Aarhus, at BSS and in Denmark.
