More about EASA:
EASA is a platform for exchange of ideas and knowledge for European students of architecture. This is achieved primarily by the EASA-Summer Assembly and also by the SESAM (Small European Students of Architecture Meeting), and the INCM (Intermediate National Contact Meeting). This exchange should continue throughout the year and could be achieved by ongoing communications between the events.
EASA is not an established organisation but a non-political and non-profit network aimed at bringing people together.
The essence of the EASA, since it’s beginning in Liverpool in 1981, is maintained by the ‘EASA spirit’ – easy to feel but difficult to describe.
EASA was established in 1981, when students of architecture from Liverpool invited their fellow students from Europe to come and help them solve problems in their city. About 300 students gathered to work on the theme ‘starting up the EASA experience’. Since then there have been assemblies in different countries with around 500 participants each year.
EASA is a practical network for communication, meeting and exchange. Here architecture students can discuss their ideas, work together and exchange their experiences concerning architecture, education or life in general. By exploring new dimensions of communication, reflection and presentation we can achieve a new perspective of dealing with the architectural profession.
By holding assemblies in different countries we have the chance to discover their cultural, historical, and environmental background.
EASA is a conscientious assembly. It does not prioritise, agenda or hold bias that is discriminatory or that could be perceived as exclusive. That EASA represents a holistic agenda of equal rights towards; gender, race, sexuality or perceptive minority. The inclusion and presentation of this ideal ought to be made apparent through the diversity of participants, workshops and lectures. The aim of the EASA is for those who participate to have an extraordinary experience.
