At the event, first-year students network with each other and get to know senior students. Also university’s administrative and pedagogical staff join the event to network with students which gives the event a special mark.

All the University of Primorska faculties and more than 40 local organizations, associations, institutions, and companies will present themselves and their possibilities for extracurricular activities for UP students.

The location offers endless possibilities for lounging in the sun, so bring a picnic blanket or bath towel. We will take care of lunch. Since we support Zero Waste management, we encourage you to bring your bottles and lunch box.
