THUAS Talks
THUAS Talks is terug en we zoeken jou!
Heb jij een idee, een verhaal of een bijzondere kijk op dingen die anderen kan inspireren? Dan is THUAS Talks op zoek naar jou! Stap het podium op en gebruik je 15 minuten om je verhaal te delen. Of het nu gaat om innovatie, persoonlijke groei, technologie, maatschappelijke verandering of een unieke ervaring uit je leven: dit is jouw moment om te stralen.
Je hoeft geen ervaren spreker te zijn, als je maar enthousiast bent over wat je te vertellen hebt. Heb je een boodschap die het waard is om te delen? Wij helpen je om er een talk van te maken die mensen niet snel zullen vergeten.
De deadline om je aan te melden is 27 oktober 2025. Let op: de talks worden in het Engels gegeven.
Schrijf je nu in en word spreker. De beste ideeën komen van mensen zoals jij!
Dit evenement wordt georganiseerd in samenwerking met De Haagse studenten Thijmen Puite en Frederique König.
Guidelines
To ensure that our talks are effective, engaging, and respectful of the guidelines of The Hague University of Applied Sciences, we have developed some guidelines for our speakers. Here are the key guidelines that you should keep in mind when preparing your talk:
- Non-promotional: Your talk should be non-promotional in nature, and you should avoid using your talk to promote your own products, services, or organizations. This is not a platform for self-promotion, but rather a platform to share your ideas and inspire others.
- Respectful: Your talk should be respectful of the audience, and you should avoid using offensive language, making discriminatory remarks, or engaging in any forms of hate speech. We want to create an inclusive and respectful community where everyone feels safe to express their ideas.
- Practice: Practice makes perfect! You are expected to rehearse your talk in advance, and to be well-prepared and confident when you take the stage. This will help you deliver your message effectively and engage the audience.
- Politics: THUAS Talks is not a place to push your political agenda. You should refrain from using your talk to push, endorse, or advocate for any political party, ideology, or stream. We want to keep our talks neutral and focused on inspiring others.
- Declining: The University is allowed to not upload or stop the talk if guidelines have not been considered. Note this only happens in extreme cases.
- Manuscript: You need to hand in a manuscript of your talk in advance, so the script can be approved by the organization before the talk is given. This ensures that your talk is on topic, engaging, and respectful of the guidelines.

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.
