About The Lighthouse

At The Lighthouse, we provide a diverse range of activities including lectures, discussions, workshops, exhibitions, films, and documentaries. These activities aim to stimulate critical thinking and foster dialogue among our students and staff, addressing societal and political challenges, as well as exploring the world and the future. This strongly resonates with our institution's commitment to global citizenship, encouraging students to expand their horizons, connect with individuals from different backgrounds, and cultivate empathy.

We prioritize organizing these activities in partnership with students, lecturers, and researchers. We also collaborate with external organizations to host events. The Lighthouse events are held on and around the main hall of the campus at Johanna Westerdijkplein. All events are free for university students and staff, and we extend a warm welcome to external visitors as well.
