AEGEE-Maribor organised a special Travelling Summer University (TSU), Blau University, with the support of AEGEE-Ljubljana from the 4th July to the 18th July . 30 amazing participants were a true inspiration and the ones who made a true and diverse creative experience in Maribor and Ljubljana possible.
We had joy …
“We want to make a Summer University which will stand out, inspire people and give them an opportunity to experience all things 
creative, which they otherwise never might,” was the main motivation behind the TSU concept, set up by the main organiser, Brin Malina. It was most definitely achieved with a bunch of interactive workshops from various creative fields. Wonderful participants were given the opportunity to get to know the fields of music, photography, street art, dance and their peculiarities. The most fun and interactive were surely the photo-shooting contests in Maribor and Ljubljana and the lip dub. For the photo-shooting contest the participants were divided into groups of five and given some serious and some a bit odd and crazy assignments, which they had to do and document. As for the lip dub, it was a unique experience and something new for both participants and organisers, since they made their very own music video for the well-known “Walking on Sunshine” song . You can watch it here.
We had fun …
Additionally, the participants were inspired and entertained with several other activities. As at every summer university, city tours 
were a must and an important part in learning about the Slovenian culture and a bit of history, as was also the treasure hunt in Ljubljana and traditional wood-rafting experience and wine tasting in Maribor. A big part of the current modern culture in Maribor are also the Lent festival and European capital of culture Maribor 2012, which were happening during Blau University and added a special vibe to the TSU. The participants also got to know the historical city of Celje and Laško, which is known for its brewery. And of course, there were also the thematic parties (from Charleston to superhero) in various clubs, where everyone danced and bonded almost until dawn, and well-known European night with traditional food and drinks.
We had seasons in the sun!
As already stated, it was a unique experience, a real razzle dazzle, which would not happen without wonderful and lovely 
participants from Spain to Russia, who surely shared and felt the AEGEE spirit. That is why the organisers would like to thank each and every one of them and of course AEGEE for making it possible. See you somewhere and Europe and keep spreading the AEGEEan vibe and stay creative.
