It is the highest priority of the organisers and of Breda University of Applied Sciences that everyone can take part in Unexpected Journey in a safe manner. It is important that you feel safe and welcome during the introduction week. This is our aim from the moment you arrive until the moment you leave for home.
You will take part in Unexpected Journey with the class with which you will start your programme. Every class will be supervised by at least two Hoppassen, which are senior students of the same programme. These students are your first point of contact and will remain with the class during the entire programme.
In addition, there are various teams consisting of senior students. They, for instance, are in charge of entertainment, production or the meals. All senior students have gone through an application procedure during which they have been interviewed and have been selected by the introduction week’s organisers.
During Unexpected Journey there will be several first aiders and security staff present to ensure the safety and security of you and your classmates and fellow students.
Caretakers will be available at all times during the introduction week. These are senior students who you may approach for a confidential conversation. Would you, during the introduction, prefer to have a confidential conversation with a staff member instead? A confidential counsellor (BUas employee) will always be present during the Unexpected Journey.
