ParaDIES!
Join ECU’92 on a virtual trip to celebrate their 29th birthday during a week full of activities and fun in paradise!
#HAPPYBIRTHDAYECU92
Theme Reveal
After a whole year of Corona-stress it’s time to give our mind and bodies some relaxation!
Take a trip to ParaDIES!
ECU’92 treats you on a well-deserved vacation! We all virtually gather on Schiphol on Monday afternoon, where the DIES Reception will take place.
When we are ready for take-off, we will fly to Cuba, where we are welcomed with a Salsa Workshop on Tuesday afternoon. It is a short stay, because in the evening we fly off again towards Miami. However, we crash on a uninhabited island! Are we able to Escape the Island and continue our flight? (Spoiler alert: yes we are.)
On a rooftop-bar in Miami, we enjoy our Cocktail Workshop – this takes place on Wednesday night. Followed by the best party of the year: the Silent Disco! While still in the party vibe, we take off again to Hawaii!
Arriving at the Hawaiian beach on Thursday morning, a complete Hangover Brunch package is waiting for us. Afterwards, we will learn everything about Tax Paradises (lecture).
The last paradise that we visit is Tahiti! On Friday evening, we will close of our holidays with a Cantus. Make sure your voice is on point to sing along with the biggest hits!
Happy and (not so) well-rested we return home at the end of the evening!
