3 rd Edition - November/December 2014
GiveitaGo@cardiff.ac.uk
Welcome To the third edition of Give it a Go! In this booklet you will find an amazing array of fantastic opportunities for you to jump straight into! All activities are aimed at complete beginners and are geared to get you to try things you’ve never tried before. You don’t need a membership and you don’t need to commit to anything after the session – so there’s never been a better time to ‘Give it a Go’!
Give it a Go @ Cardiff
Here’s what you do: • Pick an activity that takes your fancy. • Go to CardiffStudents.com/GiveitaGo and sign up to the event. • Turn up on the day with your student card and Give it a Go!
Icons Key You should have your student card with you at all times when on University premises. But you may specifically need to show it to the activity leader so they know exactly who they have with them and so you can receive your #Igaveitago experience points! As far as we know this session is suitable for wheelchair users. This session has something in the description which suggests the possibility of alcohol, such as a trip to the pub or some social drinks during the event. You will need to take some spending money with you to pay for reasonable public transport costs, venue entry or third party services.
Applying common sense you may have to wear warm or waterproof clothing with footwear appropriate for the session – e.g. trainers for running, loose clothing for dancing. You may have to take a swimming costume, or take a bottle of water. There is also the possibility that you may need some kind of safety gear such as a bike helmet or mouth guard. This should all be explained to you in the session description. Pen and paper are advised for the taking of notes. What the GIAG Score we will stamp onto your loyalty card will be!
These events are suitable for children!

Deutsche Filme Screening: Das Experiment 11th November 2014 Based on the infamous ‘Stanford Prison Experiment’ conducted in 1971. A makeshift prison is set up in a research lab, complete with cells, bars and surveillance cameras. For two weeks 20 male participants are hired to play prisoners and guards. The ‘prisoners’ are locked up and have to follow seemingly mild rules, and the ‘guards’ are told simply to maintain order without using physical violence. Everybody is free to quit at any time, thereby forfeiting payment. In the beginning the mood between both groups is somewhat empathetic. But soon quarrels arise and the wardens employ drastic sanctions to assert their authority. (German with English subtitles).speaking abilities welcome! 6.30pm – 8.30pm 2.03 John Percival Building.

2nd December 2014
In 1914, World War I, the bloodiest war ever at that time in human history, was well under way. However on Christmas Eve, numerous sections of the Western Front called an informal, and unauthorized, truce where the various front-line soldiers of the conflict peacefully met each other in No Man’s Land to share a precious pause in the carnage with a fleeting brotherhood. This film dramatizes one such section as the French, Scottish and German sides partake in the unique event, even though they are aware that their superiors will not tolerate its occurrence. (German, English, French with English Subtitles)
Buongiorno! Italian is without doubt one of the most romantic languages in the world. Come to the taster session and learn more about this beautiful language. We will cover all the basic vocabulary and sentences you need to impress your future beau!
