🎄 Mediator 2024 🏠
Next Tuesday 2️⃣ and Wednesday 💒 (December 10 & 11), the International Committees 🌍 for the D/Me/E/MiT Chapters will once again be collaborating to bring you Mediator 2024, an incredible Christmas tradition spanning two Chapter Halls. This year, the event will have two parts:
- 👷 Part 1 (Tue 10/Dec 17:17 @ META) — Gingerbread Building Competition: show off your creativity and coordination in a race to build the best gingerbread house with your friends. This will happen during QN, so you can play normal board games after the competition.
- 🍻 Part 2 (Wed 11/Dec 18:12 @ Tolvan) — Gingerbread Smashing Pub: hang out with people from other Chapters (open to all KTH!) and tear down + eat a bunch of awesome gingerbread houses.
This is a great opportunity to meet people from all over KTH and visit a different Chapter Hall than what you're used to. In addition, you'll get a one-of-a-kind super-duper-cool two-part patch for free just for attending and building! 🤑 You'll get one kitten on Tuesday and another kitten on Wednesday - and then they fit together!
🥣 We will be selling rice porridge for dinner during both evenings! 🥣
Sounds cool? Sign up for Part 1 here: https://dsekt.se/mediator 🔗
There are no sign-ups for Part 2 (the pub): just show up! 😎
