ISHA Helsinki (International Students of History Association) and CISSI (Committee of International Social Scientists at University of Helsinki) are gathering together at Idan Sauna (Ida Aalbergin tie 1) for a joyful evening of sauna-related action. During the evening there will be a chance to get the full Finnish student sauna experience and then cool it off in the pool with a collection of some of the finest people you can find. You can also just come enjoy some beverages and hang out with us! There is also a pizza place around the corner from the sauna so you won’t be starving.

Remember to take your own towel with you. Also, take your swimsuit if you prefer to use one, but be mentally prepared to see naked people around. The sauna shifts are as follows:

19.00-20.30 ladies
20.30-22.00 gents
22.00-00.00 mixed

Instructions on how to do sauna: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGN3UulLH0Y

Original Invitation
==================

Dear ISHA friends,

We are pleased to invite you to ISHA Annual Conference which will take place from 24 to 30 April 2015 in Bucharest, Romania!

The 26th Annual Conference aims to bring a controversial but captivating topic to our attention: Local vs. Global: A transnational perspective on history.

There is no doubt that, even if we keep trying to forswear this tendency, nationalism remains a powerful influence upon the writing of history. Instead, the novelty of transnational history is really the idea of offering an alternative to the dominance of a historiography structured around the nation. Historians see it as more than simply being an additional stratum in the “onion model” between local, regional and national history on the one hand and global on the other: transnational history defies this logic of layers and can directly connect the local to the supranational or transcontinental. We now challenge you to look beyond national history through eight workshops which treat a wide variety of aspects like ideologies, globalization, culture, migration, conflicts, international integration and others.

The academic part of the programme will be complemented by soft-skills training, guided thematic tours in Bucharest, visits to emblematic cultural and historical buildings and places, a day trip to Transilvania as well as the well known Ice Breaking Party, Pub Crawl or National Food & Drinks Party.

An important aim of this conference is to create a platform for intercultural dialogue and broaden cultural and academic horizons as well as foster debate among up to 100 participants from all over Europe.

The application period starts on Sunday, 08 February 2015 at 00:00 Eastern European Time (EET) and ends on Sunday, 15 February 2015 at 23:59 EET. The participants list will be published on 20 February. The participation fee is 100 euro.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at ishabucharest@asid-ub.ro. Please follow the website (http://isha.asid-ub.ro/) and our facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/ishabucharest) for further details.

We very much look forward to seeing you in Romania!
