May and June are traditionally a busy period for everyone associated with education, and this year was no di! erent for easa010.

On the 15th May easaHQ open its doors to the public for the " rst time at our o# ce warming event. The event was low key with friends of easa invited for tea and cake.

The highlight of the night was the announcement of the winner of the easaHQ competition.

All entries including the shortlist were displayed, with Nicos Yiatros announced the winner by event coordinator Tom Bennell.

A week after the o# ce warming, easaHQ hosted its " rst general admission event.

Marking the " nal party for the Manchester Architecture and Design Festival 2009, the Manchester School of Architecture’s Event Month program used the extended gallery space to good e! ect.

Photographs and details of both events are available on the easa010 newsreel:www.easauk.net

Each summer since 1981, around 400 of the brightest students from every part of Europe have come together for 2 weeks of intense workshops, lectures, exhibitions and events, in the name of exchange of ideas, culture and experience.
