THUAS Talks
THUAS Talks is terug!
Datum: 20 mei 2025
Tijd: 16:00 - 17:00
Locatie: Speakers' Corner
THUAS Talks is terug voor de derde editie! We geven het podium aan studenten van De Haagse Hogeschool die zich durven uitspreken, persoonlijk durven worden en praten over de dingen die er écht toe doen. Of het nu gaat om een vaak verkeerd begrepen leerstoornis, de ware betekenis van liefde, of het vinden van betekenis in je meest ongemakkelijke momenten — deze Talks zijn eerlijk, herkenbaar en allesbehalve standaard.
Iedere spreker brengt iets unieks mee, maar ze hebben één ding gemeen: hun verhaal is het waard om gehoord te worden. Dus kom langs, luister mee, en wie weet herken je iets van jezelf in wat zij te vertellen hebben.
De voertaal van dit evenement is Engels. Gratis toegang voor studenten en medewerkers, zoals altijd! Schrijf je gratis in op de gastenlijst en laat je inspireren door verhalen die bijblijven.
Dit evenement is mede mogelijk gemaakt door European Studies studenten Erben Oosting en Demi Vreden.
Dit zijn de sprekers.

The Forgotten Learning Disability
Hi! We're Amber and Mike, third-year European Studies students and we are very excited to do a THUAS Talks. At a young age, we were both diagnosed with dyscalculia, a specific learning difficulty that is still widely misunderstood. Due to this lack of awareness, we've encountered many challenges throughout our education. In our Talk, we want to raise awareness on dyscalculia. Through sharing our personal experiences and the broader issues surrounding this often-overlooked condition, we hope to advocate for better understanding and support.

Love, actually... (yes, like the movie)
Hello everybody! My name is Jo. I am a 4th-year European Studies student looking to share some food for thought about love, because I love, love... and I could talk to you all day about how beautiful and complex love is outside its stereotypical, romantic image. No cliché stories here, just some lines from the diary of a lover girl.

Walk of Shame
I am a bundle of endless energy and talking. And if anything more than that, I am fascincated by stories, and story-telling. I like looking at the things which make us tick, what moves us, and what doesn't. With an insatiable curiosity and inexhaustible enthusiasm, here I am.
