2023 / 2024

Come join a free vegan picnic together with the Vegan Student Association and TINT, where there will be room for interesting conversations about values in life. Bring your friends for this nice lunch and conversation opportunity!

With a card set with interesting questions and discussion topics, you can start the conversation with others, searching what you have in common and which things make you unique.

And all that while enjoying a nice (hopefully sunny) picnic.

Everyone has a story to tell… Some people have experienced truly amazing adventures that can inspire our wildest dreams to be possible. Others have faced and overcome tough hurdles that prompt us to put our lives in perspective and feel more grateful with what we have. Others have just challenged the odds and enjoyed the serendipity of life. 

Life stories can take us to places, situations and emotions that we have never imagined before... And we love that!

The event “Open Stories” is an evening to inspire our Eindhoven community to take more time to listen to the real stories around us. For that, we have chosen captivating people ready to share their life stories with you in an intimate conversation.

Expect heartening, raw and honest stories that will broaden your horizons.  

Recent events in Israel and Gaza are having a huge impact on many. Also here at our university. It is extremely challenging to address this in a way that is acceptable, workable and appropriate for all. Yet we feel it is important to do so.   After all, many of us are experiencing unprecedented grief, feel fear, powerlessness and anger. Two programs, organized by Studium Generale, ESA and TINT, offer an opportunity to express these feelings without condemnation, without a war of words.  

During the event, Murat Karatas and Tjeerd Ritmeester engaged in a conversation related to the events in Israel and Gaza. It was a dialogue between two council members of the municipality of Eindhoven who belong to the same political party, the PvdA, but whose feelings and ideas about the Israel-Gaza conflict are very far apart. Murat is Muslim, Tjeerd is of Jewish origin. 

The dialogue between Tjeerd and Murat has been recorded and is now available to watch (including English subtitles) by clicking the link below.

This workshop offered by TINT and AEGEE, is focused on stress management and burn-out prevention. In an interactive manner, TINT life coach Margit van Tuijl helps you to identify your current sources of stress and to deconstruct them into manageable pieces that are easier to deal with. 

During this dialogue evening, the events in Israel and Gaza will be discussed at several tables in groups of about five people.

Have you ever experienced/witnessed some form of microaggression or unwanted behavior in your surroundings? Maybe you were not sure how to react to it, and if you should even act on it. It is hard to tell if the way we are being treated or addressed is right, and talking to others about our discomfort can be tough. However, opening up the conversation is just what we need to learn how we can support each other.

This event together with WISE and drs. Marloes Siccama is all about standing up together as allies. By sharing experiences, you get a better understanding of what we can do ourselves to improve social safety, and we can celebrate how far we’ve already come! Join us for a nice dinner and insightful evening to take steps towards a safe and supportive community.

Celebrate the successes we’ve already achieved, and aim for those we still have ahead of us!

Do you want to meet new people in a fun and engaging way? 

Then come to the Connect with My Culture event and join our Life Questions Ninja game! In this game, you can try a meaningful spin on the classic game of "ninja" with your friends or strangers! 

TINT's team will be there to coordinate the game and we will of course explain to rules to you so don't worry if you don't know the game yet.

Headaches, tension in your body, back pain, fidgeting with your hands… Do some of these come familiar to you? These and many more are all signals your body is giving you. But what do they mean? And how can you use these signals to take better care of yourself? 

In this interactive workshop during Vitality Week, you will learn to recognize the signals your own body gives to you and what these signals mean. While sharing and learning from each other, you will find concrete actions to address the causes of your signals. 

Margit van Tuijl and Kimberly Drabbels will guide you through the process of understanding your body and your needs better. 

Increase your vitality by listening to your body!

Are you down for an evening of deep conversations and engaging topics? Do you want to share your thoughts in a nice and cozy setting? 

At “Food for Thought” hosted by Lighthouse, Cosmos, and TINT we’ll make room to talk about whats on your mind. Join us in the Common Room to have conversations about your culture, your future and the study struggles you experience as a student! We know these can be difficult topics to talk about so we made a nice boardgame to make it easier :) We provide the structure for the evening, you pick your preferred discussion topics! However, all good conversations happen after dinner, so that’s what we’ll do! We’ll cook a lovely dinner for you which is included in the ticket.  

Do you feel anxious sometimes, when looking at the news and hearing about climate change? It can be quite difficult to grasp what it truly means that our climate is changing. Actions need to be taken on a global scale, but during everyday life it is hard to know what you can do about it.
