The Student Dilemma: Is Volunteering Really Mandatory?

Watch & listen to our episode 2 now!

In this episode of VTH Talks, we tackle the “Student Dilemma”—the high-pressure gap between being a student and becoming a professional. We are joined by two incredible guests from The Hague University of Applied Sciences (De Haagse Hogeschool) to look at this from both the student and faculty perspectives.

Meet our Guests:

  • Adam Daniel: A student at THUAS and the founder of The Hague Dialogues.
  • Tiaan Westenberg: Lecturer and Internationalisation Support Officer at THUAS.

Together with our host Laura Linga, they dive into the “Experience Gap,” the reality of expat loneliness, and the big question: Is giving your time a burden, or is it the secret “cheat code” to the Dutch labour market?
