Experiencing stress - cultural differences between China and The Netherlands

Date: Time: 14:30 Location: CZ006

Examinations and deadlines, study loans, finding a room, Binding Study Advice, what do these words have in common? They give students stress.

Dutch or Western students and Chinese students may tackle stress differently, so to give you an insight in these differences, but also to find common ground, we invite you to attend this VNC (Vereniging Nederland China) and Tilburg University co-organized event where you can meet fellow students and learn from each other.

All students are welcome.
