Health Week at X | Your Balance, Your Rules.

*The emphasis of this event is on dialogue. It is the first time X organizes an event about this topic. We hope that learning how to facilitate this dialogue will create a stronger support system. Information about professional support organizations is available for reffering (possible) victims.

This workshop is led by the owners of Samen Helen, whose aim it is to educate people about #MeToo and how to approach conversations about this topic. A free training is available on their website, via this link.

Sam de Jong from Lijst Beta (@sambal.svg  and @lijstbeta):

• Hi! I'm Sam, and I'm a columnist for the magazine of my study association W.I.S.V. 'Christiaan Huygens.' I've been doing this for about two and a half years, and it's been a great learning experience for me in terms of how writing helps process my thoughts. I'd like to share with you, during my talk, the various ways to put your thoughts on paper, how I approach it, and how it might assist you in your daily life.

Emmelie van der Pol from Student Onbeperkt (@emmsvdpol and @studentonbeperkt_delft:

• Hi! My name is Emmelie, I’m 29 years old and a student at the CEG (Civil Engineering) faculty. I’m autistic, which affects the way I perceive this world and how I interact with it. Besides that have been transitioning for several years. My talk will be about how I’ve dealt with both autism and gender dysphoria while studying.

Noor-ul-Ain Javed from Hii (@_noorulain.javed and @we.say.hii):

• I'm Noor, currently pursuing a master's in Design for Interaction (DFI) at IDE. Recently, I underwent an accident resulting in an ankle fracture, catalyzing sudden changes in my life. I embarked on a journey of self-discovery, experimenting with various methods to nurture both my body and mind. Through sharing my experiences, I aspire to offer solace and courage to others facing similar challenges, hoping to illuminate the path forward.
