EASA takes place each summer in a different country, with the event usually lasting two weeks. It is organised by students of architecture for students of architecture and the concept is operated on a cooperative basis. At each event the participants 'vote' for the location of the following event. Typically 2-400 students take part in the event and engage in workshops, exhibitions, '''lectures''' and social events loosely based around a specific theme. These events are run by a combination of academics and students and encompass a wide variety of activities with a greater or lesser relationship to architecture. The event is funded through a combination of attendance fees (which vary for each country based upon ability to pay), grants and sponsorship, all arranged by the organising committee for each event. EASA has little or no formal structure in that each event is organised as a unique occurrence- though a system of '''National Contacts''', '''NC's''', that ensures, that the event each year is well supported. NC's also typically meet once a year to discuss the previous EASA and prepare for the next. EASA SUMMER MEETINGS
(This assembly was held at two sites)
(This assembly was held onboard a train driving through Denmark , Sweden , and Norway )
INCM ( Intermediate National Contact Meeting) The INCM is held every year in autumn. They are the main event next to the assembly to keep the continuity of easa. There have been such memorable meetings like Berlin 1990, where the "Lichterfelder statement" was made. The "Lichterfelder Statement" later became the "easa-guide" developed, which is updated yearly at the NC-meetings..
SESAM (Small European Architecture Students Assembly) The SESAM is an event arranged by the '''EASA''' network. Like the basic idea of the '''EASA''', a SESAM can give a addition and/or alternative to the education of the students. The independence and off-university-character creates an informal atmosphere. The SESAM is a '''workshop''' with a small number of participants. Through this concentrated character the SESAM allows to work on a tight theme. After a number of similar events in the year before in Italy , the Netherlands , Czechoslovakia , etc., the first '''EASA''' workshop with the name SESAM was realized 1992 in Villafames (October, 50 participants). UMBRELLA Each year, during EASA, one of the workshops is dedicated to cover the event by reporting about events and workshops in a Newspaper -like fashion. This workshop and hence the newspaper is typically called umbrella, or variation of the local word for umbrella. This newspaper is usually published on a daily basis and has been an integral part of EASA since the early 80's EXTERNAL LINKS
