    Walk & Talk

    Judith, Savi & Sophia

    This project aims to battle inequality in a small, yet powerful way by connecting dog walkers (on their routinely walk) and refugees. Lifting this interpersonal barrier is done by fostering interactions with both groups using a furry friend.

    Foster Buddies

    Carly, Jessie & Vera

    In the Netherlands, there are many foster children who experience a lack of stability and trouble establishing lasting, loving relationships. In our project, we help this target group. It aims to match foster children with dogs who visit them regularly, in order to enable them to create these relationships and stability.

    Tilburg Integration Service

    Domagoj, Niki & Yannic

    Too many international students are running into issues when arriving and settling in Tilburg. We believe that integration in Tilburg can be a much more pleasant experience when there is a proper informational platform guiding students through the journey of succesful integration by providing help with practical matters.

    UnplugMe

    More than a box – A new way to make meaningful connections

     

    The Unplugme team at University College Tilburg are aiming to tackle the behavioral problem related to phone addiction and the adverse effects of technology on human beings. In the current era, mobiles phones have become so increasingly important that it brings undesired implications with it we may not have been aware of.

     

    We have created The Unplugme Box that makes the difficult task of putting your phone down more fun and interactive. It strives to improve the social atmosphere and achieving uncompleted goals by reducing phone time.

    Employees Factory

    Irina, Isabela, George, Laszlo

    In Tilburg there is a visible discrepancy between international students and Dutch students when it comes to employment. The Employees Factory team at University Collage Tilburg have research this topic, and found that this is an issue of social inequality on the matter of language skills. In the Tilburg area, most of the employers need people who can understand orders, and react to security issues accordingly.

     

    We have come together to offer students a program that teaches them the Dutch language, and provides useful tips for job seekers about how to properly write their CV and create a LinkedIn profile. The program strives to help international students to earn some cash, while attempting to decrease the employment inequality among students.
