Thank you to everyone who joined the ChiSAG Ghent Welcome Event 2026! 🎉

Under the theme “Moonlight Welcomes New Friends in Ghent, Dreams Set Sail for a New Academic Journey”, students from different faculties and backgrounds came together to connect, share experiences, and celebrate the beginning of a new academic year.

From campus resources and study-life sharing to safety tips, games, and lucky draws, the event provided a great opportunity for both new and current students to learn more about life at UGent, build friendships, and feel at home in Ghent.

Special thanks to our guests from the East Asian Platform for sharing valuable insights and resources, and to all volunteers whose dedication made this event possible. We wish everyone a rewarding, successful, and enjoyable year at UGent! 🌕

🍻 Ghent Student Association | New & Returning Members Gathering — Our Top 6 Drinks!

The new academic year has started, and we're happy to welcome many new members to the association!

Our New & Returning Members Gathering was a chance for everyone to meet, catch up and get to know one another in a relaxed setting. For those who have just arrived in Ghent, it was an opportunity to get to know the association and the people around them a little better. For returning members, it was also a chance to reconnect and catch up after the summer.

We talked about our studies, everyday life in Belgium, and all the new experiences that come with living in a new city. Little by little, conversations turned into new connections and familiar faces.

For us, the gathering was more than just another event. It was about strengthening the connections between members, sharing experiences and information, and building a sense of community within the association.

🍷 And, of course, there was a little tasting session!

After trying quite a few drinks together, we selected our Top 6 most popular choices of the evening. If you've just arrived in Belgium and are wondering what to pick up at the supermarket, here are some options to try 👇

🥇 01 | MARTINI BELLINI
📍 Available at: Lidl / Delhaize
🍑 Sweet and fruity, with a noticeable peach flavour. It's smooth and easy to drink, with a relatively light alcohol taste — a good choice if you're new to this kind of drink.

🥈 02 | Stormhoek Moscato
📍 Available at: Albert Heijn (AH)
🍇 Sweet and fruity, with a fresh grape aroma and an easy-drinking character. A good option if you prefer sweeter, fruitier drinks.

🥉 03 | MARTINI SEMISECO
📍 Available at: Lidl / Delhaize
🍾 A semi-dry option with a lighter sweetness and a refreshing sparkling character. A nice choice if you prefer something less sweet.

🍎 04 | SOMERSBY
📍 Available at: Delhaize
🍏 Fresh and fruity, with a distinct apple flavour and a pleasant sweet-and-sour taste. Easy to enjoy while chatting and hanging out with friends.

🍺 05 | RODENBACH
📍 Available at: Albert Heijn (AH)
🍒 A Belgian classic with a refreshing, slightly sour character and subtle fruity notes. Quite different from a typical light l***r, and definitely worth trying if you want to explore Belgian b**r.

🍺 06 | TRIPEL LEFORT
📍 Available at: Delhaize
🍺 Fuller-bodied, with more pronounced malt and b**r flavours. Compared with the fruitier drinks above, this one has a more distinctive b**r character. A good option if you enjoy Belgian-style Tripel b**rs.

✨ For us, this gathering was about more than just getting together.

Whether you've just arrived in Ghent or have already been here for a while, we hope the association can be a place where you meet new people, exchange experiences and make your life in Belgium a little more connected.

More events are coming throughout the year — dinners, social gatherings, cultural exchanges, city explorations and more.

If you're in Ghent, come and meet us! 👋

📍 Ghent, Belgium
🍻 New faces, new connections — see you at the next one!

ChiSAG welcomes her new members 🌿

While the weather is still sunny and warm, of course there's no better activity than a picnic 🍃🧺

The Chinese students and scholars association of Ghent is organizing a casual internal activity to let the new members get to know everyone!

🗓️ time: Sunday, September 9th 2026 at 2PM
📍 location: Blaarmeersen
🌿 activity: picnic + drinks luck and casual chatting

🍻 How does the drinks luck work?
Every person brings a beverage* they like so we can all share our favourites and have a drink together, this way it's a natural opportunity to break the ice~

An on-site vote will select the six top sharers to receive a Junxi Airlines Silver member card! ✈️

English
On July 2 2026, the Chinese Embassy in Belgium hosted a China–Belgium student exchange event and farewell ceremony for the 2026 study-in-China programme and summer camp participants.

The ChiSAG actively contributed to the event’s planning, on-site coordination, and volunteer services. Its volunteers assisted with guest reception, event logistics, and visitor guidance, helping ensure the event ran smoothly.

The event provided a valuable platform for students and faculty from Chinese and Belgian universities to exchange ideas and learn from one another. It also promoted the sharing and appreciation of Chinese culture overseas, while fostering mutual understanding and friendship among young people from different cultural backgrounds.

The ChiSAG will continue to serve as a bridge, actively organising and taking part in more high-quality cultural exchange activities.
