ELSA Amsterdam presents: Movie Night at CREA. We are going to watch the movie ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’. ELSA Amsterdam is going to make sure that everybody has a snack during the movie.

The movie is about a defense lawyer who accepts a case in which his client tells him that he is innocent. The lawyer then looks into the evidence and finds that this case might be linked to an old case of his.

After the movie we will be having a discussion and talk about certain dilemma’s that could occur in our professional life and speak about how we think we would handle those dilemma’s. We are looking forward to welcoming you.

The European Law Students’ Association (ELSA) is an international, independent, non-political, non-profit making organisation run by and for students and recent graduates, who are interested in achieving academic and personal excellence in addition to their legal or law-related studies at university.

Placebo wordt in het diepe gegooid. Nachtgasten is een beproefd format, normaal gesproken gespeeld door professionele acteurs. De voorstelling bestaat uit een pas verzonnen verhaal, dat de spelers ter plekke te horen krijgen. Vervolgens krijgen ze allemaal een persoonlijk verhaal met een persoonlijk geheim mee. Dit geheim kennen de andere spelers niet, maar jij als publiek wel. En dan krijgen ze anderhalf uur de tijd om dit uit te spelen tot een spektakel. Job Römer (inderdaad, van dé familie Römer) trainde Placebo voor deze voorstelling op techniek. De inhoud is compleet geïmproviseerd en dus volledig uniek. Maar drama én een lach zijn gegarandeerd. Jij als publiek bent alwetend en daardoor medeplichtig!

Our brain is undergoing a massive transformation as a result of internet penetration. We outsource our memory to our devices and are less and less able to concentrate on something for a long time. The real cost of allowing your gadgets to dictate your agenda and behaviour is your depleted ability to take decisions, stay focused, think clearly and creatively, sleep well, and ultimately, manage your own free time and choices. In this talk, you will learn how to take back control of your time and attention without getting rid of your tech. Dr Anastasia Dedyukhina is an author, TEDx speaker, Huffington Post blogger, organizer of the first mindful tech festival Focus Inside and a former senior digital marketer.

Do you feel like the European Union has no impact on you and your vote has no impact on European politics?

On February 27 the student association AEGEE organizes an interactive discussion night on the impact that the European Union has on the citizens of Amsterdam. We will start with a workshop about ‘active participation’: why is it important that we as young citizens actively use our European voting right?

There will also be a short presentation about the functioning of the EU and the influence it has on Amsterdam. Experts in the field of local politics will share their opinions and views on these topics. Afterwards, you can continue the discussion and discover what part of EU politics is important for you personally.
