Balkan

About us:

As one of LSE's premier cultural societies, we are a national example in offering an all-Balkan university community. The Balkans are a geographically large and culturally rich part of Europe compromising 11 nations and some 60 million people, who speak multiple languages yet have remarkably linked histories and cultures. They include: Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo, Macedonia, Albania, Bulgaria, Romania and Greece. For the first time at LSE, students from this entire region will be represented through Balkan Society. Not only do we offer a wide range of fun LSE and inter-university social events, but also a political platform for students from the region in a unified environment. On top of this, we offer an abundance of career and networking opportunities.

Over the course of the coming year, you can expect the following:

• Cultural events including club nights with other LSESU Socities and other London Universities
• Socials: Boat parties, dinners, balls and formal visits to select locations
