Hi everyone!

My name is Ann-Kathrin and I'm the president of ESN Darmstadt.
We hope you had or will have a good arrival in Darmstadt and are as excited as we are about next week. Before we start, we would like to take the opportunity to answer a few important questions. First of all:

**Who are we?
**
ESN is a European-wide existing student group. Here in Darmstadt we are a team of about 40 (mostly) students who use their free time to offer you a great semester with plenty of events and trips.


**What is this group for?
**
Please use this group to exchange information, ask questions to us or to other exchange students. We will announce our events in this group with a post every Sunday about the events of the upcoming week. If you only want to see our announcements you can also join our broadcast group where no other post can be made:

**What about next week?
**
Now we get to the really important stuff. Unfortunately, the corona virus is still an issue and we are aware of the cancellations of the university, but we decided not to let that stop us and take this as an additional motivation to offer you a great start in Darmstadt. So, here are our plans for next week:


ESN goes to: The Furniture Store
Experience in recent years has shown that bed linen and local transport are major problems in the first few days. Let us tackle them together. About every fifth of you will get a group ticket, please bring it with you. Together we will drive to Mömax, a slightly cheaper furniture store where you can get everything you need to make your new home a little more comfortable.

Prost!
Dear internationals,
Today ESN International (our head organisation) advised all sections to postpone upcoming events. We are sorry to announce that all our upcoming events will be cancelled/ postponed until further notice.
We don’t want to spread fear, please keep calm and remember that you are not in danger and that your erasmus and exchange programmes are still going on. Please refer to official statements of the university regarding courses and the start of the semester: https://t1p.de/ere0
The cancellation/postponing of our events the upcoming days is a matter of caution. Everybody in Germany is encouraged to take measures to reduce the spread of the virus and is asked to behave responsibly. We know we’re not authorised to tell you what to do and what not to do in your freetime, but we highly encourage you to avoid big crowds, follow basic hygienic rules and consult instructions and information given by the World Health Organisation, the Robert Koch Institute and the University.
We as an international student organisation do not accept any kind of discrimination, insults or exclusion against anyone. It does not matter if you come from so-called ‘high risk’ countries/ areas or not.
No one is happy with the current situation and we know that this is not how you (and we) imagined your first couple of weeks in Germany. We’re still looking forward to an amazing semester with lots of events and good times. That’s why it’s better to be cautious now than having a worse situation in the future.
Unfortunately nobody has any long-term predictions as the situation is changing daily. Nonetheless, we will keep you updated. The events which can’t take place now will be postponed to a later date during the semester assuming that the situation improves until then.

Thank you for your understanding and stay safe.

Your ESN Darmstadt Team.
