Our candidates

At SLAAFS, candidates are committed to their own views. This ensures that our council members set realistic goals and are motivated to achieve them. At SLAAFS you vote for the person you agree with and you can rest assured that those opinions will not be pushed aside during the first vote within the council. You can read below what our candidates want to do in the council. As a party, we make only one promise, free beer!

Hey everyone! My name is Kuba and I am a second year Economics and Business Economics student. I am running in this year’s elections to the FSR with two goals in mind: to improve the learning experience of my fellow students and fight for the right of drinking free beer. Yes, free beer! Slightly interested in this idea, then read on! Over the two years that I have spent at the UvA, and the numerous discussions I’ve had with friends from other universities, it can be seen that even though this university is amongst one of the most highly respected in the world, we lack an investment society. My goal is to intertwine such an idea with our studies as a way of getting first hand practical knowledge. Now onto the second and probably more interesting goal is to provide free beer and more frequent borrels. Borrels and beer are a great way to bring people closer to each other. Now ask yourself, when was the last time our faculty had a borrel? If you don’t remember, then we are the right party to vote for. Do you have any suggestions? Let’s discuss them over a pint of beer at one of our borrels. See you there!

About SLAAFS

SLAAFS was originally founded out of dissatisfaction with the student council. We saw that the elections were simply a popularity contest and that the party system ensured that no one expressed their own opinions. Parties often take positions that most students agree with and make promises that are unattainable. At SLAAFS people join the council for themselves. This ensures that our council members set realistic goals and are motivated to achieve them. At SLAAFS you vote for the person you agree with and you can rest assured that those opinions will not be pushed aside. In addition, SLAAFS also makes one promise as a party: free beer!

At SLAAFS we all love drinks and we know that most students have this in common with us. That is why we want to give back directly to the university by organising free beer drinks for all students. In order to finance this, our council members donate their own grants. This means that our survival depends on our involvement in the student council. Many students will know us from our drinks, without knowing where we come from. Everyone is welcome, so that is certainly not a problem. We do hope to get your support during the elections. That way, we can give away as much beer as possible and organise other fun events!

With the four council members we have at the moment we can have a borrel more often where we pour 500 litres of free beer. We have organised borrels at the Faculty of Science for years and soon we will also organise borrels at the Faculty of Economics and Business. We have our own tap Lindert which can also serve deliciously cold beer during outdoor drinks in warm weather.
