ŠtartUP – for a perfect start to the academic year

3. oktobra, 2024

ŠtartUP is a sports and social event organized by the University of Primorska, with which we start the new academic year together. We invite you to join us on Saturday, October 5, 2024, from 10:00 to 16:00 at Žusterna Seaside Park. The event is open to all students at the University of Primorska, both freshmen and seniors. The event provides an opportunity for networking between freshman and senior students. Networking with colleagues from the University's teaching and professional staff adds a special touch to the event.

The venue offers a relaxed atmosphere by the sea, so it is advisable to bring a picnic blanket or beach towel. Lunch and coffee will be provided for registered participants.

The event will take place from 10:00 to 16:00 in Žusterna Seaside Park, Koper (in case of bad weather, it will be moved to Taverna Koper).

Short introduction of standup comedians:

Jan David Kljenak is a stand-up comedian who is fierier than the flames he encounters every day as a firefighter. When he’s not fighting fires, he’s usually with his family. He loves to swim, but not more than 4 meters from the shore for fear of stepping on an urchin. Once he stepped on a sea urchin and it was not good.

Benjamin Kovač Keber a comedian who does stand-up out of pure love for laughter, comedy and life. He makes short, funny jokes and hilarious dissections of reality.
