The Scarlet Dolls are a five piece band of students with international background (German, Dutch, American, Canadian). They have been around since 2009 but since they moved to Rotterdam  because of their studies last year they got a bit more serious about our band and recorded an EP. Now they simply enjoy performing wherever they can, playing cover songs and of course their own stuff. They're no men of big words, but just like to play Rock'n'Roll and while doing so, inspire people to listen to this good old music genre.

A Wagnerian theatre opera about the horrors of modern history. Erasmus students pay € 8,- instead of € 19. Performed in Dutch with English surtitles on the 29th of May.

A regular event in Irish pubs, but also on the Woudestein campus: the two-weekly pub quiz. Have a drink and answer the sports and photography questions, sound bites, news facts and pop news in Café In de Smitse. Teams can register from 17.00 hrs onwards. It is free to take part, but there are limited places available, so make sure you are on time!

The rich countries of the west are facing a transition of enormous consequence during the next several decades—towards much more diverse societies.  Demography will be the driver, as the huge post-World War II baby-boom group leaves the active years and is replaced by far more diverse and frequently smaller cohorts of young adults.  This population switchover will present both challenges and opportunities.

To celebrate the end of the academic year and the start of the summer holidays, Erasmus Cultuur is organizing a party on the terrace of Café In de Smitse this year for the third time.
