Recap of Social Life at IBP

By Eline Kiirdal Ludvigsen & Clara Moimini Jørgensen

2022 has brought with it some amazing moments, and since we left you last, the IBP Union has continued to create an abundance of events for us all to enjoy. So, it is only appropriate that we give you an opportunity to look back on some of them. To reminisce about the good times this semester has brought along, and to forget the last few weeks filled with the stress of a daunting exam period... On that note, please enjoy this little recap of the amazing social life we are lucky to experience here at IBP.

June 14th

Gala

The atmosphere at the annual IBP Gala was characterized by wide summer smiles and light post-exam hearts. After powering through the spring semester, the IBP Gala was the perfect opportunity for all IBP’ers to get dressed up and celebrate each other and the beginning of an amazing summer. At Søpavillonen we enjoyed each other’s company at dinner and danced until we dropped!

August 22-26th

Intro week

For the newly arrived IBP’ers, along with their amazing tutors, the semester was kicked off with a week of fun, well-planned activities and parties. This year’s theme ‘A glamorous night in Hollywood’ certainly fulfilled its promises. From Wednesday’s BBQ at Nørrebro to Thursday’s IBP Olympics where all freshies got to show off their athletic skills, the week was anything but lacking in excitement. After having defied rain and beaten some obstacles, the week came to an end at Chateau Motel with plenty of opportunity to socialize across yeargroups.

Tour de Chambre

Is there a better way to get to know the new first-year IBP’ers than with a Tour de Chambre? We don’t think so! With amazing themes and signature drinks planned at every stop, the scene was set for an amazing night. The end destination was at Allegade 11 where every group met up and continued the fun all the way through the night.

September 16th

Halloween party

As an IBP first, we met up with IB and DM students at the newly-opened club KB III for a scary night with spooky costumes and a lot of dancing. A fun way to branch out to some of the other programs. Maybe something we will see more of this upcoming semester?

Election night with Djøf

In true IBP spirit, students from the program gathered at Bootleggers to follow the exciting election of a new Danish government. Not only did we get to enjoy a fun Kahoot on Danish politics and the delicious (and might we add “free”) pizza sponsored by Djøf. Most importantly the event provided a nice break from the daily routines of uni and work. Thanks to IBP Social for making our daily lives even more fun and filled with great memories!

Friday bar

A red carpet might have been appropriate as this semester’s Friday Bar was filled with famous attendees when we all gathered up mid-semester for a well-deserved break from extensive studying. The cheap beer, amazing costumes and a great atmosphere proved to be the recipe for a perfect night.

Absalon communal dinner

IBP communal dinners at Absalon turn out to be a true success time after time - and no wonder why. The food is great and the atmo sphere is magical. This time we were served an amazing veggie-lasagna and Absalon’s sig nature focaccia-style bread. Absalon’s dining hall has true “højskole-vibes’’ which leave some with a fuzzy feeling of nostalgia, and others with an energizing feeling of comra dery. As such, these dinners present a great opportunity to make new friends across year-groups at IBP.

Fall dinner x Chateau Motel

Another IBP tradition was upheld again this year, with exams looming on the horizon, a break was highly appreciated. As our wonderful hosts provided delicious dinners for all, we later met up at Chateau Motel with the other groups to continue the fun. All-in-all, another successful Fall Dinner with fantastic socializing across the year-groups.
