Christmas is right around the corner, so ISOW has geared up for yet another amazing trip. This time we will be visiting the Christmas market of Aachen, a tranquil city situated in the south of Germany. The city, popularly known as the “SPA CAPITOL” of Germany, houses a thermal bath (Optional- not included in the price) to give you the right amount of warm and cosy experience during the chilly German winters. It also hosts a hip and happening Christmas market right in the heart of the city. On our way to Aachen we would also make a stop at the triple country point where you can experience being in three countries at the same time!

Diwali- The festival of lights

It is symbolic of the victory of good over evil linked to the ancient tales of Hindu literature. People today draw the idea from there and celebrate this joyous occasion with family and friends, distributing sweets, decorating home and more importantly with lights, in the form of Diyas, the traditional lamps. Come join us and we will tell you about all the modern interpretations of this ancient concept.

The event will be held in ISOW on 11th November from 6-9pm.

First we will tell you all about Diwali as you enjoy Indian snacks, then you will experience the rich Indian culture in the form of cultural performances. You light up diyas and play some traditional games with us after which you can dance your heart out to Indian music.

Entry is free!

Food charge- 4 for non members, 3 for members.

Jump on the Art Express and unleash your creativity 🚂

Our artists invite you to join them for a fun afternoon of sharing knowledge, ideas and curiosity about different fields of art. Here you can get a better idea of what you can expect:

Poetry performance 

By Donatella Gasparro 

Have you always loved writing verses but never dared standing in front of a crowd? The mic, who’s this stranger? Do you want to explore the performative possibilities of your texts? Come join us for this performative poetry workshop: we’ll break the ice and build up confidence in sharing our deepest poetic thoughts.

Collage art 

By Marcel Reulen 

In this workshop, we will explore the magic and possibilities of the art of paper collage under the guidance of Wageningen based urban collage artist Perishable Rush. If you have collage material, such as magazines at home, please bring them to the workshop. 

Brushless painting

By Sarah Haimes

Miss that childlike feeling of touching everything and getting your hands dirty? This workshop will take you back to those days when painting had nothing to do with technique but whimsical feelings of enjoyment and glee. We will each paint a canvas with our naked fingers, feel the cool paint on your tips and the rugged canvas beneath. You can paint whatever comes to your mind or heart as long as you are smiling through it. No artistic skills necessary just some nude fingertips and your enthusiasm! (Warning: Save your favourite clothes, do not wear them to this workshop!)

Improv Comedy
By Emma Holmes 

Need to clear out those mind cobwebs? Then improv is for you! Use your body and voice to be as silly, and therefore as funny, as humanly possible. Through games and scenes learn to be spontaneously funny with your team mates in this beginner's introduction to improv and the performing arts. No experience needed, just an ability to laugh!

Creative Writing 

By Tina Hauptfeld

Writer's workout: Writing a good story takes a lot of things - great, relatable characters, a nice plot and most of all: training. Exercises for writing different perspectives, locations, tips for overcoming writer's block, and building engaging characters await you in this workshop. Instructions will be in English, but you can write in whatever language you want. And do not worry: there will be no reading aloud of the created texts.
