UP Euro-Filipino Understanding and Relations Organization
Description
The Euro-Filipino Understanding and Relations Organization or UP EURO is a duly recognized university-wide student organization based in the Department of European Languages of the College of Arts Letters of the University of the Philippines Diliman, which caters to the interests of those who envision a mutually beneficial common future between the Philippines and Europe. It was founded on 25 September 2002 by a group of European Languages students. It was first recognized by the College of Arts and Letters as a college-based student organization in 4 December 2002. Then, in July 2003, UP EURO was given university recognition by the University of the Philippines Diliman’s Office of Student Activities.
Since the earlier part of 2003, the officers of the organization have been conducting visits to embassies and cultural centers. Among those visited by UP EURO members were the Royal Belgian Embassy, the Delegation of the European Commission to the Philippines, the Embassy of France, the Embassy of Germany, the Alliance Française de Manille and the Instituto Cervantes de Manila. Also, UP EURO has been creating partnerships with its counterpart student organizations outside UP, such as the Ateneo Lingua Ars Cultura of the Ateneo de Manila University, the Corps of Diplomats of the College of Saint Benilde, the International Society of the College of the Holy Spirit, and the European Studies Association of the De La Salle University.
Every semester, UP EURO is accepting applicants through personality development and team-building activities. Since its first application process, UP EURO has taken in high-quality members, and thus, it has produced a great number of high-quality projects for a large audience – the UP community, other Philippine universities, exchange students, public high school students and even the diplomatic corps in the country.
Even after just seven years of operations, UP EURO has, indeed, proven itself to be one of the most promising and one of the fastest growing organizations of the university. It has accomplished so much, yet it is always ready and eager to reach greater heights, to look beyond and to achieve even more.
