How to contact Máxima
Joske (21) is one of over 150 (former) HAN students working as volunteers or trainees for ‘Cross Your Borders’. She discovered her work placement more or less by chance. “I had looked everywhere but could not find anything, but then it appeared that apprenticeship training centre CMV had kept something in store. I applied and was engaged right away as a project assistant’.
A blue-green Paradise
Twenty-one year old Elaine Niesink is a first-year Education student at the HAN University. She recently left her parental home in Gaanderen, close to Doetinchem, for lodgings at the Professor Bromstraat in Nijmegen. The rent for her room is EUR 227.50 per month.
Volunteer Work
Besides the work that she does caring for addicts and her study in Social Work, Barbie Hagebeek (36 years old) wants to direct herself towards “things that are important in our society”. As well as being a student of Social Work, she is also a directing member of “de Paraplufabrieken” (the Umbrella Factories) better known as “de Plu”. Why is she involved with “de Plu”? Barbie says, “De Plu” is for me my home away from home.”
Rewards and tips
What do you do when you love to be outdoors, like to make new friends and enjoy the nightlife? You become a waiter just like 22 year-old Roderick Scholtz from Arnhem. Alongside his IBMS studies at HAN University he works in cafe Wampie at the Korenmarkt in Arnhem.
Talking at the terrace
On the last beautiful summer evening of the year, SENSOR sets off with 22 year-old teacher training student Jeroen Scheuter from Lichtenvoorde. He doesn’t go out that often to enjoy Nijmegen’s nightlife but when he does, there’s no stopping him.
Confrontational Chinese Cooking
With an impressively large, shining kitchen knife, Wang Chung Yang, 28, skilfully chops off head and tail of the shrimps with one stroke. The IBMS student is preparing shrimp soup and a chicken-potato dish. Chinese cooking is not really meant for touchy people.
