SYNDIKAT of HETEROLOGICAL SYSTEMS

Welcome

This blog was created as part of the Erasmus Mundus Crossways in Cultural Narratives Masters programme, which is the only one of the EU approved and funded Erasmus Mundus Masters programmes to specialise in traditional humanities with a modern languages background. The Crossways Consortium comprises 6 top-class European universities.

For further information, please check the programme's official website and the universities' websites on the Useful Links section on the left. If you wish to have a specific question answered, please click on Email here and submit your query.

Mundus students, here you will find regular posts regarding the universities of the consortium, tips, activities, events, pictures, etc. Apart from checking it regularly to keep yourself up to date, a good way to use the blog is through the search device. We already have a significant amount of information on some universities of the consortium, so if you want to find information on a specific city, type its name in the search field (top left). You will then see all posts related to that specific city (because each post title contains the city's name in it). You can also type "General" in order to find information concerning everybody.

Perpignan: Happy birthday, Cheryl!

A little bit of social action going on in Perpignan! It was Cheryl Stanton's birthday on the 27th of February, so we decided to have a little surprise party the week before.

On the picture (left to right): Giri (India), Jonathan (New Zealand), Delphine (Mauritius Island), Chetan (India), Jacky (Macao), Doruntina (Kosovo), Prof Didier Girard, Cheryl Stanton, Wantida (Thailand), Kamal and Gauri (India), Evelyn and Didi (China) and Mansi (India). Quite a mix, huh?

Arriving in Perpignan - more!

by Poonam Ganglani

For correct information on the Language courses being offered at the University, the best person to meet is Mme Jacob of the Centre de Langues (CDL). She's usually available at the CDL which is in Batiment F (opposite Batiment M), or in her office which is in the same building.

Apart from Auchain (which I realized is a bit expensive for daily groceries), try Leclerc as well. It's about 15 mins walking distance, you just have to cross the road straight ahead from Quick (don't turn left towards the Gemo etc, just go straight towards Hotel St. Jacques) and continue until you see EDF, and Leclerc is just around the corner. It's more complete than Leader Price, plus you have brand varieties.

Finally, there's a 2nd hand shop called 'Au Troc Catalan' which is on the way to Baboo if you're looking to save. (You could also consider selling them some stuff before you leave). However, check out Baboo as well for cutlery, appliances etc, they have good stuff and pretty reasonably priced.
