With its depth and complexity, the unique visuals, and the dream-like spectacle Spirited Away enchants both adults and children alike. Spirited Away tells the story of Chihiro’s adventures and struggles to rescue her parents from an evil witch by working in a bath house for the gods. A young girl, Chihiro, becomes trapped in a strange new world of spirits. When her parents undergo a mysterious transformation, she must call upon the courage she never knew she had to free her family. Get your ticket here!

15/04 – 19/04: Mural MysteryErasmus University teaches us to leave a long-lasting impact in the world by being a force for positive change. Students and employees will now be able to do the same for our beautiful campus. No longer will their presence be for a couple of years, but rather remain in artful spirit via a mural we can paint together. The activity will be a giant canvas split up as a grid with numbers that correspond to specific paint colors. Paint, brushes, and protective covers will be provided. The canvas will be set up and kept for 1 full week, so anyone can just stop by and spend a few minutes painting a few squares. In addition, no prior art skill is required, simply an energetic attitude. This activity is a Lustrum event. Click here for all Lustrum events.  Date: Monday 15 – Friday 19 April Time: 9:00 – 17:00 Location: Campus Woudestein Price: free |
