Room and board

You can choose from three different kinds of meals: with meat, vegetarian, vegan.

Note: We ask meat eaters to pay attention to the following:

During SES, there will be a so-called “green discount” (verda rabato). If you choose to eat meals without meat during SES (that is, if you choose either the vegetarian or the vegan meal option), you will pay €1 less per day, or €8 for the entire event. Thank you for your understanding! Of course, we would be happy if you chose the less expensive option, which does not result in needless slaughtering of animals and even saves you money. Perhaps you will also learn to appreciate this way of eating and would like to continue eating this way even after coming home from the event :-)

You can change your meal preference at any time until the first day of the event. Please inform the organizers in advance if you have any special needs or requirements.

Note 1: Meals will be served beginning with dinner on August 17th and ending with lunch on August 25th.

Note 2: There will be 8 nights during the event (from Sunday evening to Monday morning). It is also possible to attend the event for a shorter period of time; in this case, please inform us of your arrival and departure dates on the registration form. It is also possible to arrive one day earlier (on Saturday) and/or to stay for an additional day (until Tuesday). If you would like to take advantage of this opportunity, please also mention this on the registration form and include the price for the additional night(s) in your accommodation payment.
