Yesterday our freshman students enjoyed the kick-off of the new Talent Development Programme (TDP). The evening included a presentation by Lars van Troost (Amnesty International Netherlands) and our new TDP coordinator Nawal Mustafa. The event was closed with a presentation about improvisation by some of Boom Chicago's international talent.

We were very happy to welcome over 200 new PPLE students today! During PPLE's introduction day lecturer Benno Netelenbos gave an introductory address about power. We are excited for the actual classes to start on the 4th of September!
