Balkan Eastern European Society

We were founded in 2024, by a team of incredibly passionate students who wanted to share their culture with their peers and honour their roots. As a team, we host fun, creative events all year, spreading our traditions through food, media and art. It has been amazing to see how many students have taken part over the years, eager to learn more about our heritage!  

Our Aims 

As a team, we are also dedicated to using our platform to make a tangible difference. We are currently working with Rubikus, a charity committed to providing aid to Ukraine in response to the ongoing humanitarian crisis caused by the war. Their motivated team of volunteers directly helps to evacuate and situate refugees most affected by the conflict into newer, safer homes. We have raised hundreds of pounds through bake sales, charity matches and more, and this has gone towards covering transportation costs and lodgings, offering a lifeline to someone who is suffering. Rubikus’ purpose and dedication is inspiring for us all, and we are honoured to be able to assist them in their mission. If you would like to read more about their cause, find their website here https://helpua.rubikus.de/en/#survey. Every donation helps towards making a massive difference in the course of someone’s life.
