Student life should be bright and saturated. This is the main principle for StuRa, the Student Council of DKU. We want to tell about our events in detail, because behind each event there is big responsibility of StuRa members.
Picnic for students
Time: in late August (annually)
The event aims at introducing students with each other and the members of the Student Council. This is an important event for 1st year students and a very effective way of joining the university environment without stress and excitement. Active outdoor games and a friendly social atmosphere are waiting for ouruture students.

All saints day is one of the most favourite holidays of children and adults worldwide. It’s a night when you can become anyone and spend the day with friends at university. There are competitions, homemade cakes and decorations in the spirit of the holiday. Preparation for the event is a good opportunity for StuRa recruits to show themselves!

Student Council, like any team, needs a strong and intelligent leader. Decent candidates fight for the presidency supported by a team of associates.
