The EUGLOH Language & Culture Survival Backpack brings together students from across the EUGLOH Alliance to discover new languages, cultures and perspectives.

The programme consists of six 60-minute online tutorials introducing you to a new language and its associated culture, led by local student tutors from EUGLOH partner universities. In small, interactive groups, you will get a taste of a new language, discover the local culture, and connect with fellow students from across Europe.

The 2026 edition will take place from 2 November to 11 December 2026.

Who can participate?

The programme is open to Bachelor’s, Master’s and PhD students from all EUGLOH partner universities.

No previous knowledge of the language is required for the beginner groups.

Languages available

Seven languages are available in the 2026 edition:

  • French – Université Paris-Saclay

  • Portuguese – University of Porto

  • Spanish – University of Alcalá

  • Hungarian – University of Szeged

  • Serbian – University of Novi Sad

  • Norwegian – UiT The Arctic University of Norway

What will you gain from participating?

By taking part, you will:

  • discover the basics of a new language and culture with a local student tutor;

  • gain useful cultural and practical insights, particularly if you are considering an Erasmus+ or other mobility experience;

  • meet and exchange with students from other EUGLOH universities in a small and interactive setting;

  • receive a Certificate of Participation if you attend at least 5 of the 6 tutorials.
