Past events of 2025 - 2026

The start of the academic year is a great moment to make new friends! 

Whether you are new to Eindhoven or you simply love meeting new people, we've got you covered. Together with Cosmos, we will host a fun and casual night where you can meet other students in Eindhoven and build up a new social circle. Experience making strangers into friends and learn how to keep doing that wherever you go.

Even if finding topics to talk about gets hard, we'll help you out: We will offer tips and ideas that you can use for our speed dating and in the future. The focus is on meeting people in real life, without screens in between. You might leave inspired to meet even more people.

Join us for a cozy evening of conversations and new connections!

Unfortunately, this workshop has been cancelled due to personal circumstances. The event will be rescheduled to later this academic year.

Perfectionism can be both a blessing and a burden.

In this workshop, you will learn what perfectionism is to you, where it comes from, and how to get it under control. We’ll provide you with insightful exercises to let you practice making perfectionism work in your favor.

There’s plenty of room to share experiences, exchange stories, and inspire each other.

A low-key, relaxed moment to just meet new people. Enjoy a free lunch (incl. vegetarian options). With the questions we prepared for you, you’re guaranteed having interesting conversations. 

The lunch is organized in collaboration with HOST, Ichthus and Netwerk Navigators. 

Need a pause for a moment: from deadlines, pressure, or just the noise of everyday life?

Join TINT and Motiv for a special Rest & Reflection Weekend in the calm and green surroundings of Nijmegen. Together with students from Delft and Eindhoven, you’ll have the chance to slow down, connect with others, and reconnect with yourself.

Throughout the weekend, you can join a range of reflective workshops and shared experiences designed to give you space for rest, creativity, meaning, and simply being. Whether you feel like walking, sharing, creating, or just breathing, this weekend is yours. All activities are optional. 

Fast-forward a couple of years: What will make you feel inspired about the path you’re on, and which possible directions will give you energy? Now, how can you turn this all into reality?

In this workshop, we’ll look at what inspired you in the past, what excites you right now, and combine that to envision your dreams for the future. For this whole process, you can count on the guidance of TINT’s life coach, Margit van Tuijl. Together, we dive into your future with hands-on exercises. You will also get the chance to share ideas and get inspiration from each other.

Join this workshop to take the next steps into your future!  

Have you ever looked back at your younger self and thought: Where did that carefree joy go?

Maybe life happened: you grew up, took on responsibilities, and somewhere along the way, a part of your spontaneous, curious, inner child got buried under the pressures of adult life.

But what if we told you that being a responsible adult and embracing your playful side can go hand in hand?

TINT and AEGEE Eindhoven invite you to a creative and interactive workshop where you will explore how to bring back that spark, without letting go of your goals and responsibilities. Life coach Margit van Tuijl will help you to rediscover what energizes you, identify what you may have lost along the way, and learn how to revive your playful spirit in your current life. There’s plenty of room to share experiences and inspire each other.

Allow yourself room for curiosity and playfulness.

Dealing with perfectionism - befriend your inner critic

Do you ever pour your heart into something and still wonder if it’s truly good enough? Or catch yourself delaying a task because you want to start exactly the right way? If so, you’re in good company: many students silently struggle with the same patterns.

Perfectionism often grows from strengths like commitment, ambition, and a desire to do things well. When these strengths tip into overdrive, though, they can make your days feel stressful. In this workshop, you’ll learn to recognize when your inner voice is pushing you to do things better. You’ll learn how to work with this voice, often called the inner critic, in a way that supports rather than hinders you.

Together, we’ll look at how perfectionism shows up in student life, trace where your habits might come from, and practice exercises that bring more lightness, confidence, and trust into your work.

There will be plenty of room to share experiences, exchange ideas, and support each other in a friendly, open space. Join us to build a kinder, more relaxed relationship with your ambition and discover a gentler way of striving for what matters to you.

What are you afraid of? Creepy spiders, confined spaces, speaking in front of a group of fellow students? Or are you fearless? During this interactive evening, TINT and SG will discuss and explore our perception of and approach to fears. From healthy thrills to all-consuming fears and everything in between. With fear expert Prof. dr. Neeltje Batelaan.

This program is jointly organized by TINT and Studium Generale.

It's normal to feel fear and tension. Everyone is afraid or worried sometimes. You are definitely not the only one afraid of dogs or spiders. Or who worries about exams, presentations, the climate, natural disasters, what others think of you, love, or life-changing choices. In fact, fear is essential! It protects you from dangerous situations and makes your body more alert. Often, you learn to align your fear with reality, either consciously or unconsciously, causing the feeling of fear to diminish or even not appear anymore. In that light, seeking excitement occasionally can offer a positive experience. Although some people do it purely for the thrill. However, sometimes fears can take over your life, resulting in an anxiety disorder.

This evening, we will discuss what fear is and how it works in our bodies, physically and psychologically; how we deal with fears as individuals and as a society and how we can overcome them. We will (anonymously) explore the fears that exist among the audience and invite you to reflect upon your own fears. Prof. dr. Neeltje Batelaan, a psychiatrist and professor of anxiety-related disorders at the Department of Psychiatry of Amsterdam UMC, will share her knowledge from research and practice and there will be ample time to ask her questions. So, don’t be afraid to do so ;)

Do you enjoy games that go beyond just winning or losing? Are you curious about the kinds of conversations that can unfold when play meets meaningful topics? This evening invites you to explore both, whilst testing different game setups. 

Together with the Knights, we’ve created a series of conversation games designed to spark discussion, curiosity, and connection. 
During the evening, you’ll rotate through several of these games, all specially designed for this event. As this is also a playtesting session, we’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback. But if you’d rather just immerse yourself in the experience and enjoy the conversations, that’s just as awesome :)

Whether you’re looking to reflect on different perspectives or simply try something new, this evening offers a space to connect through play. Immerse yourself in the experience and enjoy the vibe! 

How does it feel to be in front of an audience?

Whether you are passionate about dance, music, theatre, or any other sort of performance, doing it on a stage, in front of a large crowd, can be nerve-wrecking. A presentation in the classroom can already be a reason for faster heartbeats and shaking legs.

In this workshop, TINT and Footloose will help you feel more comfortable on stage. We will explore why stage fright occurs, how it affects your body and mind, and how to deal with it. You will get tips and exercises to help you figure out what works best for you. There is also room to talk to other participants, exchange experiences, and learn from each other.

Whether you have a big performance coming up or just want to improve your confidence in presentations, this workshop is for you.
