Beloved NCs,

As you know the workshops for easa010 were announced yesterday. The posters for them can be found on www.easauk.net

Now we turn our attention to participants. Attached is the application form, but before we get to that we will talk about something new for 2010. This year it is a requirement for all participants to attach an essay on the based on our theme - Identity.

At architecture school we form hundreds of ideas and opinions, this is a chance to get them down on paper. All the essays will be used in a publication produced by the easaUK team, on top of that all the entries will be read by the team and a short list will be given to an expert panel to choose the best. The winning essayists will be contacted before the assembly with details of how they will get a chance to present their paper at a very special event night during the assembly. For years workshops have been dominated by students and lectures have been dominated by professionals, at easa010 students will have the chance to stand and deliver.
