NEW OFFER FOR STUDENTS IN AARHUS: TRY OUT ONE OF 60 LEISURE ACTIVITIES FOR FREE
Aarhus Try Out is a new and temporary initiative from the City of Aarhus aimed at encouraging more students to take up leisure activities alongside their studies.
Whether you’re into sticky handballs, stand-up paddleboarding, or beginner’s Finnish, you now have the chance to try out a new leisure activity completely free of charge. The project, called Aarhus Try Out, runs from September 1 to November 30, during which students can try out the activities.
“With the project, students can try out leisure activities and hopefully find an activity they want to be a part of,” says project manager for Aarhus Try Out, Helena Dalsgaard Gouliaev, in a written response to Omnibus.
The project is funded by Aarhus' two municipal departments, Culture and Citizen Services, and Health and Care, each contributing DKK 500,000 to the initiative.
Still many spots available
For the project, the City of Aarhus has set aside 8,000 spots for the 43,000 higher education students in Aarhus. At the time of writing, around 2,000 students have made use of the offer.
“All students can still make it,” emphasises Helena Dalsgaard Gouliaev, although some specific activities are already fully booked.
And if you missed out on sea kayaking, sewing, or wakeboarding, the project manager can already reveal that Aarhus Try Out will be back again next year.
