KAN x Volt FASoS

Juliane Trabandt

Hi, I’m Juliane! I’m a pre-master student in European Studies from Germany. While I already love the faculty and my programme, I think there is still room to grow. As #1 KANdidate I vouch to always hear out what students need from the faculty. 

At KANxVolt we want:
- to improve student wellbeing
- transparent and clear communication from the university to the students
- a stronger community
- and more common spaces

As your faculty councillor, I will focus on student wellbeing and community building within and outside the faculty. 

Let’s make our faculty better for everybody!

Hello, I'm Isabele! I'm Brazilian and I'm in my 2nd year of the Global Studies Bachelor. I am the #2 KANdidate with KAN x Volt for the FASoS Faculty Council. My goals for our faculty are focused on upgrading the common spaces accessibility and functionality. I aim to: 

·       Provide more indoors seating and areas for recreational activities.

·       Include more outdoor seatings in the gardens to enjoy our sunny days with more benches, shared blankets, and comfortable seats.

Vote for KAN!

Keira Vankan

Hi, I'm Keira! I'm Dutch and a 1st year Arts & Cultures student at FASoS. This year, I am running as the #3 KANdidate for the FASoS Faculty Council with KANxVolt. I came to Maastricht because of the wonderful interdisciplinarity Arts & Culture offers me, but I noticed that our faculty still has some room to grow! That's why during my campaign, I want to focus on improving student wellbeing at FASoS. I will vouch for prioritising the student's wellbeing on FASoS, through introducing a faculty psychologist, improving already existing resources and making these more accessible to the student body.

Hey, I am Anneke, a first-year student of European Studies. I am running with KAN for our Faculty Council to make your voices heard in faculty wide decisions. To me, it is really important to make FASoS a place where everyone feels heard and seen, which is why I strive to improve communications at FASoS. Whether that is setting up a letter box, where you can propose ideas or wishes, or extending the responsibilities of the student help desk. Next to this, I also want to make the communications from the faculty to the students more clear and direct. 

Lavinia Tacke

Hi everyone! My name is Lavinia, and I am a second-year European Studies student from Germany. Two years ago, I chose to study at Maastricht University, especially because of its international character and the interdisciplinary nature of my program. In my opinion, the internationalism and interdisciplinary nature of FaSoS strongly benefits from the community. 

Therefore, I aim to strengthen the community ties within FaSoS by organizing networks that bring together Bachelor’s, Pre-Master’s, and Master’s students. 

Additionally, I am eager to create more indoor study spaces at FaSoS to encourage students to spend more time at our beautiful faculty.

KAN addresses issues centering students' wellbeing. On a faculty level, you will be able to see direct changes in your daily life! 

Vote for KAN !

Hey, I'm Lea, a second year European studies student at FASoS. 
Moving abroad to study can be scary, but the university environment we created for ourselves makes it easy to feel at home.

With your help we can further improve our new home and university :)

KAN wants to adress different issues such as the voice of students, ethics, quality of life, academic integrity, and sustainability and has clear ideas to tackle these goals. Take a look at our insta @kanmaastricht to learn more! 

Julia Weschke

Hello, I’m Julia! I’m studying European Studies at FASoS and running as a KANdidate with KAN x Volt for the Faculty Council.

What drew me to Maastricht was its international and interdisciplinary environment, but I believe we can go even further. I want to contribute to a more inclusive and forward-thinking education at FASoS.

I aim to

• Promote a more inclusive curriculum that reflects diverse perspectives and challenges eurocentrism.
• Advocate for integrating sustainability and real-world challenges into our courses, empowering students to become active agents of change.
