At Kalmar nation we pride ourselves on having a big heart, which means everyone is welcome – no matter their sexual orientation, identity, food preferences or taste in music. Speaking of music, we are well known for having some of the best clubs in Uppsala, focusing on dance-worthy indie music and groovy house/disco. In our cozy pub we often host open mic-nights, and every week the mixtape circle and choir meet up to experience music together. 

Three words: Indie. Inclusive. Alternative.

Activities:

• Mixtape circle (Thursdays at 20.00): everybody brings a song that fits the theme of the week, and listens to and discusses the songs.

• Open mic nights (Spela @ Kalmar nation! on FB): every kind of performance is welcome: poetry, bands, orchestral, storytelling, performance art, you name it!

• Choir (Wednesdays at 19.00, Kalmar nations kör on FB): Starting up this semester, Fall 2019! Anyone can join no matter their experience level, and participants have influence over which songs the choir sings.

• Theatre group (Thursdays at 19.00, Teatergrupp Kalmar Nation on FB): Everyone is welcome, no matter their experience level. Involves both practice of theatrical skills through improv/character work as well as performing a play once a year.

• Sports (Thursdays at 22.00-23.00 @ Fyrisskolan, Kalmar Nation IF on FB): Currently we are offering floor ball, which is like ice hockey without ice (or skates).

• Yoga (Wednesdays at 17.00, Yoga på Kalmar nation on FB): Weekly yoga lessons with a variety of poses and routines.

• Spex group (Tuesdays at 19.00, Spexgrupp på Kalmar nation on FB): Spex is a comedy performance, normally performed at fancy dinners and involves many puns.

• Photo group (Fotogruppen vid Kalmar nation on FB): Involves photography lessons, developing photos in our dark room and photo excursions, among other things.
