Step out of your daily routine for an afternoon and put your energy into something that truly counts. Social Heroes invites you to join fellow TU/e students to make a difference for a day. Choose one of five hands-on activities and connect with social initiatives in and around Eindhoven.
Afterwards, we come together for dinner at Keukenconfessies in the Klokgebouw (Strijp S until approximately 19:00 (dinner is included in the €7.50 registration fee)

Location: Gasthuisstraat 1, Eindhoven
Time: 13:30 - 19:00
During this Social Heroes activity, you’ll go for a relaxed walk with the Troeptroopers and elderly residents of ‘Vitalis Wilgenhof’. While walking, you’ll do some ‘plandeling’: picking up litter along the way.
This activity combines spending time together with doing something practical for the neighbourhood. By walking at a relaxed pace, you help create a pleasant afternoon for the elderly participants while also contributing to a cleaner environment.
Not everyone speaks English fluently. Communication is often simple and informal, and with a few basic Dutch words, some gestures, and an open attitude, you’ll quickly find your way.
Dinnertime
After the afternoon activities, we’ll come together from approximately 17:00 – 19:00, at Keukenconfessies in the Klokgebouw, StrijpS. This shared dinner is a core part of Social Heroes, a moment to exchange stories, insights, and a few laughs with fellow participants.
You’re expected to join us for dinner. A small contribution of €7.50 is included in the registration price.
