erasmus party latin crash SIN |

This year, the Erasmus Latin Crash is turning 7 years old. UK’s biggest biweekly event was conceptualized 7 years ago, when there was a significant increase in the number of students participating in the Erasmus Program. The name “Latin Crash” justifies the presence of a lot of students, who come from countries like Spain, Italy, Greece, France, Cyprus, Turkey and various other South American countries (nowadays the event has been completely internationalized and people from all over the world attend it every other week). In the early stages of its life, the event took place in the Spanish Restaurant La Tasca and later on in Copacabana. Year after year the event was gaining a more fanatic audience, and a lot of International, non-Erasmus students began to attend it every other week. Gradually, the event began its transformation to become ONE Erasmus event, attended mainly by Erasmus Students, turning it into an international night. The clubs that used to host it were too small to accommodate the hundreds of students. Therefore, the organisers realised that there was a need of transferring the event into a bigger and better known club. The first club that took over the already, successful and branded event was Paradise Factory. In its launched night, the event had nearly 900 attendees: nearly 400 students more than ever before. But due to financial reasons, shortly after the 3rd event, the club shut down and once more the organisers began to look for potential housing. The club that came into rescue was Club North. Several more Erasmus Parties were organized in Club North until the end of the academic year 2005-06. At the beginning of the academic year 2006/07 the organisers took (probably the biggest) risk in the history of the Erasmus Latin Crash SIN Party. They decided that the right time had come to host the event in one of the biggest clubs of United Kingdom, Tiger Tiger. It was the first time that the Erasmus Party tried to be one of the main players in Manchester’s night scene. The English and international students were essential to its survival because even if all the Erasmus students attended the event, the club would have still been half full. In the night of 28 September 2006, more than 1500 locals, internationals and Erasmus students created one of the most boisterous and multilingual events ever held in Manchester. The event is greatly supported by the International Society, University of Salford and various other organizations.
