What is the purpose?

This year’s theme is the Future of Work in a Global Context: Advancing International Perspectives on Employability, Innovation and Skills Development and the event aims at both developing knowledge on this subject and enhancing our students’ intercultural understanding. Over 1000 THUAS-students from various faculties will participate. 

What’s in it for you? 

You will have a significant impact on our young professionals to be and broaden their horizons by educating and enhancing their vision and knowledge about the future of work in a global context, as globalization unites us all professionally and personally. You can inspire and get inspired by the whole setting of this event, expand your network with international colleagues from other universities and meet students from different faculties. Become part of our slogan: Let’s change you, us and the world! 

The program 

During the THUAS International Week we will offer a varied program to our students. As a visiting lecturer you have the freedom and creativity to come up with one or two activities you would like to facilitate. It is important to know that these should be related to the theme. Our students will have the opportunity to choose their desired activities beforehand. We highly encourage interaction as this will stimulate the engagement of our students in a positive way. 

Lectures and workshops

On Wednesday the 11th of November and Thursday the 12th of November, 60-minute lectures with corresponding 120-minute workshops will be held. As mentioned above, the content should be related to the theme of the week. You will teach your lecture and host your workshop for approximately 60 students. Colleagues from our university will co-facilitate the workshop with you. Our aim is to link you to our colleagues before the week, to get acquainted. On Tuesday the 10th of November, we have reserved time for you to prepare the workshop together. If you are unsure whether your topic of interest will fit the theme of the week, just send us a message and we can discuss. 

Interactive sessions and (social) activities

Besides the lectures and workshops, we will also organize interactive sessions and (social) activities which are meant to increase group cohesion, enhance cultural understanding and offer nice, engaging activities for our students. These activities will take place on Wednesday and Thursday in the afternoon and will last for 60 to 90 minutes. These do not have to be related to the theme of the week. Please fill out in the registration form if you would (also) like to facilitate such an activity. 

There will be ample opportunity for you to get to know the university and network with other (visiting) lecturers. 

Expenses 

It’s possible for guest lecturers to apply for an Erasmus+ grant through their home institution to support their participation in the event. There is no registration fee required to participate. Participants will be responsible for covering their own travel, accommodation and daily allowance costs. We are happy to provide suggestions for accommodations in The Hague if needed.
