Talks
Start the day with listening to Joris Mencke, our failure expert, who has lots of insight into making choices.
Allard van Leeuwen, a psychologist, will discuss why stereotypical thinking is your friend, but also your foe.
After that, Florian Gerritsen from De Bildung Academie will take a philosophical approach to thinking, and discuss how you can think differently.
Round up with the energetic and interactive Holy Sh*t Show from the School for Millennials to get all your ideas about careers blown away.
Workshops
