Summer picnic

Finally it was possible again: We could get together in person, enjoy the summer in the best company and tackle joint projects. Magdeburg University once again organized an OVGU summer picnic for all students and employees on June 29, 2022 on the lawn in the FestungMark. With live music, an entertainment program and hands-on activities, all members of the university could once again spend time together outside of video meetings.

Enjoying together

On June 29, 2022, all university members could come together under the marquee, celebrate together and exchange ideas in a relaxed atmosphere or get to know the student initiatives. (Vegetarian) catering was provided by the university together with the FestungMark.

Musically, the picnic was accompanied by the jazz band Les Soleils and the hip hoppers from MAKE A MOVE. From 10 p.m., the FestungMark lawn was transformed into a dance floor that could be conquered with beats and lights.

All guests, young and old, could also let off steam with slacklining, badminton, table tennis or archery, or compete against each other in Viking chess. The cheer dance group Black Cats showed their skills and those who were gripped by the rhythms of the music could try out forro dancing. In addition, the Magdeburg Indians e.V. showed how colorful Indian culture is with a fashion show and dance performance.

Donations for Ukraine

And also the good deed of the day could be realized on the spot: For 18 euros, all guests could buy the OVGU peace shirt. Just under half of the proceeds from the sale will go to the GUERICKE hilft! emergency fund, which was set up during the Corona pandemic and is now being used to support Ukrainian university students. With the shirt, employees and students can support the fund and visibly set a sign for cosmopolitanism and tolerance. If you didn't get one at the summer picnic, you can buy one at the Unishop.
