The gala celebration

2025, written by Yatharth Jain

Marking an end to an eventful semester, ESN Göteborg hosted a grand fine-dining in Valand Club, Valand on 28 November 2025. The student organisation had several participants and volunteers who joined the feast commemorating its successful completion of yet another memorable phase in the journey of progressive networking and student action.

Sophisticatedly dressed gentlemen and beautiful maidens assembled in the dining hall, enhancing the grandeur of the celebration. A buffet was organised, and neat tables were set to facilitate the flow of a comfortable and convenient dining. The feast not only made students nostalgic about the events, but also provided an opportunity for international networking with the students they met for the first time. Dining catalysed the students and volunteers to socialise and get with each other. The atmosphere lit up as chuckles and laughter resonated throughout the entire hall, spreading the joyous vibes throughout.  Post dinner, the evening’s bar rose even higher as the student band played a catchy piece of rhythm, which made all the guests shake a leg and enjoy themselves on the beat.

Following the jolly, energetic moves of the diners, a brief fun quiz on Kahoot was played to get the participants in the groove, giving them the chance to showcase themselves as good Erasmus members. The event was a sweet celebration full of joy, welcoming the new semester in perfect style.
