Have you lost someone? Are you dealing with grief? Would you like to learn to live with the loss? It can be difficult to study when you’ve lost someone, even if it’s been a while. It often helps to talk about it with others who have had a similar experience.

In our Living with a Loss introduction workshop we discuss important insights on loss and how it impacts your life and your studies. During a Living with a Loss group course, you and other students meet weekly, a total of five times. Apart from the workshop and the group course, personal coaching is also available.

Sometimes you can lose the motivation to continue your studies. To finish what you started, you need to know what motivates you. This also helps you to plan the next step in your studies or your future career.

Knowing your values helps you make motivated career choices In our training you will explore your personal core values by mapping your inspirational role models or life events. This allows you to select an employer with an organisational culture that is worthy of your qualities.

At home, during meetings with your board, or in other relationships you can at times get into conflict with each other. How do you deal with friction in a good way? Could the relationship also become stronger?

In this workshop we will work on non-violent conflict resolution skills. We will handle the sensitive topic of conflict by combining a plenary theoretical part and small-scale interactive group work. Apart from the workshop, personal coaching is also available.

This engaging workshop will explore essential strategies for navigating choices effectively, whether academic, personal, or professional. Participants will learn about various decision-making frameworks, including the art of discernment, the interplay of heart, head and will, the pros and cons method, as well as more affective and intuitive approaches.
Through theoretical approaches, group discussions and hands-on activities, you’ll gain insights into identifying values, assessing risks, and balancing emotions with logic. We’ll tackle real-life scenarios, encouraging you to practice making decisions while receiving constructive feedback.
Join us to enhance your skills, connect with fellow students, and discover how to make choices that align with your values and goals.

How do you address (politically) sensitive topics?

The wars in Gaza and Ukraine; everyday and institutionalized racism; the ongoing legacies of colonialism: many of us experience how these (and other) topics incidentally lead to hostile situations in society, on campus or even at home. In this workshop you learn how to address sensitive topics and bring the conversation on a more profound level by learning how to ask constructive questions. Do you want to contribute to an inclusive environment and learn to build bridges? Sign up for this workshop!
