World Evening
At the request of African students who were experiencing difficulties in meeting and getting to know other students, the World Evening originated in 2005. A friendship evening was organised at that time, and in view of success of the initiative, Africa Night became an annual World Night. During this evening, foreign students can present their culture with workshops, food stands, music and dance.
More information will be announced here.
Fair Trade Week
UHasselt means it!
Hasselt University was declared 'sold on fair trade' in 2006. Obtaining this title was seen as a starting point rather than an end point - a lever to achieve new engagement in the area of sustainable production and consumption. This campaign came to an end in 2007. Max Havelaar, Oxfam Wereldwinkels, 11.11.11. and Vredeseilanden then decided to develop the concept further with the 'FairTradeGemeente' scheme. UHasselt obtained the label 'UHasselt means it' and has further pursued its commitment to fair trade.
Hasselt University is a proud participant of the annual Fair Trade Week and organizes various activities. This Fair Trade Week takes place in October.
