Last night, Mariënburgplein transformed in a way we don’t often experience. Young people from all across Nijmegen came together for Glow Up, the youth festival that brought real light into the late-November darkness, both literally and figuratively. It felt like a world of its own: laser beams drifting through the air, paint glowing into life, and conversations sparking between people who hadn’t met five minutes earlier. At the opening, something special took center stage. Ou

Last week, during the Meet & Eat at the Student Church in Nijmegen, Arthur shared his experience from an international youth project in Puglia, Italy. The project brought together young people from across Europe to explore a topic that feels more urgent than ever: fake news and the impact of misinformation on our societies. Arthur spoke about what he learned there, not as abstract theory, but through real conversations and encounters. He explained how misinformation can arise

From 10 to 14 November we travelled to Gaziantep, Türkiye, to take part in the Erasmus+ project Youth Social Participant in Postnormal Times.

It was a truly diverse gathering in which different cultures, histories and personal stories came together. That diversity shaped the heart of the week, because ev

Last night, Café de Plak turned into a real haunted house. Mysterious figures wandered through the crowd as students from ROC Rijn IJssel took on their roles as scary actors during the Halloween Scavenger Hunt through the city centre. Between laughter and a few startled screams, teams discovered Nijmegen in a completely new way. After the hunt, it was time for the Halloween Pub Quiz. Teams competed with enthusiasm, answering questions about horror films, eerie traditions and

Bildung Nijmegen joined as a partner in the Erasmus+ training course “Outdoor Therapy for Youth Mental Well-Being” , held in the heart of Arcadia, Greece. This international project brought together youth workers, educators and facilitators from across Europe to explore how nature and outdoor experiences can support the mental health and personal growth of young people. Set among the mountains and forests of Arcadia, the training offered a week of deep experiential learning,

From October 8th to 16th, a group of young participants from Bildung Nijmegen travelled to southern Italy to take part in the Erasmus+ youth exchange From Fake to Real.

The project focused on media literacy, critical thinking and intercultural dialogue. Through workshops, gro
