Every month we devote one International Tuesday to the presentation of one country. Fellow students convey authentic impressions of their homeland. Some facts are accompanied by splendid pictures, typical dishes to taste as well as music and dances - often in traditional costumes.
Subsequently there is the opportunity to ask questions and chat about the evening.
Showcase your homeland!
You are very welcome to give a presentation about your country! You can choose the topics you want to talk about, no matter whether it is cultural information, geographical aspects, the economy, your national sport, an interesting movie, a dance or some of each! Of course we will also support you during the preparation in case you need any help from us. The language used should be either English or German. Share impressions from your country!

INCAS offers a day trip to a city or sight in Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands or Luxemburg once a month!
Our trips usually include a guided city tour and/or a guided tour in a museum or sight. We have visited the city of Luxemburg, the underground caves in Maastricht and walked up to the “Drachenfels” near Bonn… Every month, we offer a different destination for you!
Each trip will be announced about 2 weeks in advance on our webpage and our social media channels. The cost is approx. 5-15€, depending on the destination. You have to register by the contact provided with the event.

Apart from the countless activities we offer for students in Aachen, we also do activities solely among our team. That ranges from team building events to simply having a good time with each other. It allows us to get to know each other better and further develop as a team.
Examples include hiking trips, visiting festivals, having bbq or ice cream at the park, do escape rooms, etc. Team members can suggest new ideas conveniently via an online form.
If you want to take part in these activities, too, then join our team – we are looking forward to meeting you and love to welcome new members! :D
