Fieldtrip Liander, by bike
Field trip with Marwin Jurjus
Together with a few HAN Students we go on a field trip by bike and will pass various buildings, new construction and sustainability projects. Find out how Dutch people live. (If you can't cycle, we'll find a solution.)
Heat Stress in Urban Areas
Workshop 1 of 2: with Frank Kersten and Luis del Romero Renau
If you want to know more about the consequences of global warming on the quality of life in cities, then you should definitely participate in this workshop. The workshop will be introduced with two lectures. One by Luis del Romero Renau, lecturer of the University of Valencia. Examples are given of which measures cities can be taken to arm themselves against heat stress. A topic that will become increasingly urgent in the coming years and requires new insights in urban planning. Students from HAN and students from Belgium (HOWEST) will then be given group assignments about Heat Stress in Valencia. They will present their results on Friday, May 17.
Lunch Walk
Lunch walk with Annika Treiber
You will receive a packed lunch and we will go for a walk in the park at R26. Annika will also show you a nearby shopping mall. Here you will find several shops, including a supermarket, if the lunch wasn't enough.
Railroad Underpass
Workshop with Marwin Jurjus
Work together with international students to create the ultimate project management plan. Can you and your group find a working method and a schedule to build a railroad underpass within 52 hours? Are you up to the challenge?
BE-Global Café
Social event with Annika Treiber and the ISA (International Student Association)
Come to our BE Global Café and meet other students and teachers. It is the place to network, relax and exchange tips about internships, exchange programs or living and working abroad. Annika, from the HAN International Office, is there and will be happy to provide you with information and drinks. Cheers!
“Our Japan Exchange community will meet as well in the Global Café, and will eat and talk further afterwards about plans to visit Japan with students, teachers and our work field in 2024-2025. Open minor, internships, graduation projects and our visit to the Osaka World Expo will be on our list, please join.”
