Wat is T.W.I.S.T.?
T.W.I.S.T. is de studievereniging van taalwetenschap te Leiden. Al ruim twintig jaar organiseren we activiteiten voor onze leden die niet alleen hun studie verbreden maar het ook mogelijk maken om medestudenten beter te leren kennen. Jaarlijkse evenementen zijn de VakanCie-buitenlandreis, het T.W.I.S.T. Student Conference en het Talengala. Daarnaast organiseren we lezingen, filmavonden, spelletjesavonden, borrels en nog veel meer! Uiteraard doen we dat niet allemaal zelf: we worden geholpen door de fantastische leden die in onze commissies zitten.
Een lidmaatschap bij T.W.I.S.T. geeft je de mogelijkheid om je medestudenten te leren kennen, maar ook veel anderen die geïnteresseerd zijn in taal. Je ontvangt vier keer per jaar ons verenigingsblad (de TWISTER) en kunt deelnemen aan alle activiteiten die het bestuur en de commissies organiseren. Je mag ook stemmen bij de Algemene Ledenvergadering en zelf lid worden van een commissie. Als lid van T.W.I.S.T. zul je vooral veel vrienden maken en gewoon een hele leuke tijd hebben!

Sint Maarten

Do you want to get a good taste of this piece of Dutch culture🇳🇱🌷🧡 (in a suspiciously candy-shaped way)? Then join us Tu. Nov. 11th for the first NeerlandiCie activity: 🌟🏮Sint Maarten🌟🏮 A Dutch holiday where you craft a lantern and beg for candy
We will gather at 19:00 in Lipsius to unleash our creative talents onto a stick with a light to build a lantern that is actually candy-worthy💪💪 T.W.I.S.T. already has sticks and crafting materials, but to keep it free and broaden our artistic horizons, we ask that you also bring some crafting material(s) yourself. In turn, we’ll provide snacks and drinks!
Then, it’s time for the real job: walking the big city🌆 Don’t worry, we won’t ring unknown doorbells, but rather you’ll follow a route full of familiar T.W.I.S.T. faces in the inner city, who will give you candy🙂 (if you’re sweet, that is)🙃. We will end the walk at around 21:30 with a borrel at L’Espérance🍻, but feel free to go home if you wish.
We hope to see you there! If so, please fill in the sign-up form.
🇳🇱🌷🧡Groetjes van de NeerlandiCie!🇳🇱🌷🧡

‘Why Languages Matter’ with Sophia Aeterna
di 12 nov 2024 19:00 - 21:00
Lipsius - 0.03
More
Language is everywhere. Language is culture. Language is cognition, politics, history. It connects us to others and to our past, it fuels our thinking, makes us build worlds, and shape ourselves. It is the air that we breathe and the stuff of our dreams.
Learning other languages is building bridges, to other people, cultures, and times. We are students of the humanities and we devote ourselves to building these bridges. But we rarely talk about the many reasons why we do this. It is time for us, wordsmiths, linguists, and other language workers, to come together and exchange perspectives and articulate our vision on the why of learning languages. To learn from each other and to show to the world: this is why we do it. This is why languages matter.
We want to have three rounds with three pitches each on the following subjects:
1. What is it like to study a language?
2. The importance of studying languages in our society
3. The future of language studies at Leiden University
Besides these pitches, there is room for interviews and dialogue.
We hope that this event can not only bring us together as students but also convince others that studying languages is worthwhile. We hope that our efforts as students will impact the faculty board as well, and preserve our language studies, and associations.

KasCo switch GA
di 26 nov 2024 19:00 - 22:00
More
The KasCo is the committee that guards over T.W.I.S.T.’s finances, making sure our treasurer does his job correctly and doesn’t wire all of T.W.I.S.T.’s budget over to a widowed Nigerian prince. However, to be able to properly do their job, they (as well as retroactively several previous KasCos) need to be voted in. Additionally, any policy changes, proposed either by the board or other members, will be voted on to officially become part of the T.W.I.S.T. IR. Please come to have your voice heard!
