Event | Let's talk about sex | Eindhoven
20 Nov 2024 19:00 - 21:00 CET
Programme

Sex is a topic most people have experience with, but it's often one of the hardest things to discuss with friends or even your partner.

Do you find it difficult to talk about sex?

Unsure how to start the conversation?

Want to make changes in your sex life but struggle to bring it up with your partner?

Join this workshop to gain tools for opening the conversation.

TINT’s program manager, Kimberly Drabbels, will guide you through some tips and a little exercise to practice communicating your wishes (don’t worry, the exercise isn’t sex-related). Then, Merel Asselbergs, doing her Master’s degree in sexology, will show you positive perspectives on common sexual beliefs and guide you through a practical exercise on communicating boundaries, showing how clear communication can lead to more enjoyable and fulfilling experiences. Get a unique chance to ask questions to a sexologist and talk about the topic with others, as openly as you are comfortable with.

Talking about sex can be incredibly beneficial. You'll see you're not alone in your struggles, and it might even improve your sex life.

Let’s open up the conversation together! 

Note that this workshop focuses on communication, not the practical side of things. If you are curious about what things we might discuss, check out Kimberly’s blog post! Anyone is welcome; whether you are single or in a relationship, and whether you never had sex before or have sex every day. There’s always something new to learn.

Map Out Your Skills - with AEGEE | Eindhoven
27 Nov 2024 18:00 - 18:00 CET
Programme

People have a huge variety of qualities and values. It is what makes us so complex and unique. But this also makes it impossible to express all our qualities all the time. Some valuable qualities might stay in the back, overpowered by the others. Do you know what your qualities are? What qualities are you not showing to the world?

In this workshop given by our life coach Margit van Tuijl, we will support you in finding your skills and how they may shape your life. After a nice dinner, we will explore your opposing qualities that often go unnoticed,learn to appreciate the ones that go unnoticed, and explore ways to give space for them in our lives. By working with these opposing values, we will learn to let our different qualities complement each other and find a better balance. 

With this workshop, we want to give you a better understanding of yourself and the ability to embrace all sides of yourself! Join us to put these qualities on the map and have a more clear picture of where you want them to take you.

Tickets: Regular ticket: €2,50

Bring a friend bundle: €4,00

Having doubts about your studies?

Don't panic, doubt is normal and healthy. Talk about it with your student coach and trusted people close to you. Together, you can find a solution that suits you. See also our page on doubts about your study choice. Do you notice that you worry for a long time? Then make an appointment with one of our study career choice advisors or consider the Explore programme.

You are a hero!

November 10 is Caregivers' Day. One in five young people grows up with a family member who is chronically ill, often becoming young caregivers. Many students find it normal that they provide this care and therefore don't look for help. Do you care for someone close to you, or are you worried about a loved one? Consider making an appointment with a student counselor or psychologist—Fontys offers various forms of support.

Take charge of your mental health

How do you feel? How do you sleep? Are you comfortable giving feedback to your fellow students? Do you set your own boundaries? Do you enjoy both school and private life? It would be great if you can answer these questions positively. But what if you can't? To support your mental fitness and resilience, you can use online self-learning modules. You have free access to these modules with your Fontys account.
