Book presentation Rob van Vlierden 'Thailand Achter De Glimlach'

Tuesday, October 1st, 2024 - 7 PM - 8 PM (and reception afterwards)

> Register now and join us as Rob van Vlierden describes Thai mores and customs and how confronting them can create hilarious situations for the Western visitor.

‘Thailand Behind the Smile’, however, goes beyond a superficial description of Thai culture. It also explores how and why this Thai view of the world came about. The fact that the country was not colonised (thanks to a Belgian!), the unique mix of animism, Hinduism and Buddhism and a feudal system that differed greatly from European feudalism all play a part.

Where: Campus Hasselt, Auditorium Louis Roppe, Martelarenlaan 42, 3500 Hasselt.
For who: UHasselt students, staff and all non-UHasselt interested participants. Please register here.

This book lecture is in Dutch, and is free for all.

Free Fair Trade Supermarket v. 2.0

Tuesday, October 8th, 2024 - 12 PM - 1 PM

> After the success of last year’s Free Fair Trade Supermarket, we’re setting up version 2.0!

While you are there, don't miss the Oxfam Wereldwinkel Hasselt stand. Did you know they their store is situated close to our campus in Hasselt? Did you know that with the coming municipal elections, they would like to make sure that Hasselt stays a Fair Municipality? Did you know they'll bring the new Bite to Fight flavours?

Where: Campus Hasselt: Foyer, Campus Diepenbeek: Agora.
For who: UHasselt students and staff. Remember to fill out the quiz first and bring your own bag and student/staff card.

Free Teambuilding game for your (student or staff) organisation?

Somewhere between September 30th and October 25th, 2024

> Still looking for an original, free team building for your (student) organisation? For a group of friends? For a group of colleagues?

The game "Fair Enough" (by Studio Globo and Oxfam) is played by between 15 and 30 people. Participants work together in a fun way and learn to look at economy more broadly - from a sustainability point of view. You get the chance to playfully design the product of the future (chocolate, a smartphone or clothing), while facing questions that are often not asked enough in a commercial environment.

The game will be set up at the UHasselt Witte Kazerne between September 30th and October 25th, 2024. It will take a minimum of 2 hours, maximum 3 hours. Feel free to let us know on which day and from which hour you would like to participate! You can do this via brigitta.bijloos@uhasselt.be (not through the form on the website)!

Where: UHasselt Witte Kazerne, Maastrichterstraat 100, 3500 Hasselt. Please register here.
For who: UHasselt students and staff.

This teambuilding is in Dutch. We are working hard on a translation, so we will be able to offer it in English soon!
