Our education should better equip us to respond to and navigate the changing and increasingly violent and unstable world around us.

Green+ is the party for sustainability, inclusivity, animal rights and social safety.

I believe that the university should offer high quality education that inspires students to think curiously and critically, and prepares them to navigate our changing and increasingly violent and unstable world. The university should resist the dehumanization of education solely focused on productivity, grades, and delivering graduates for the labour market.

In the USC, I advocated for climate education for all students, declaring the climate emergency, and changing Radboud’s general 6-year vision and strategy to include the university’s critical role and position in society (as opposed to presenting the university as a factory that produces the information that politics requests).

I am currently studying Artificial Intelligence, from a critical perspective. I follow many courses from the Politics, Philosophy and Society (PPS) bachelor, where I better learn to critically analyse this emerging technology. I intend to follow the PPS master. I also studied graphic design at ArtEZ university of the Arts in Arnhem before. In my free time, I tend to be in my vegetable garden, where I not only grow food but also organize and host art events.
