E.T.S.V. Scintilla

It is often said that you learn from failure, but is there room to fail and learn in an environment that is so focused on success?

Prof. Dr. Paul Iske is an UT alumnus and Chief Failure Officer at the ‘Institute for Brilliant Failures’ ( The Institute for Brilliant Failures )  He wants to shift the way we view failure and encourage people to experiment. However, as a professor at the University of Maastricht, he also understands the pressure that students are under. 

Want to find out how learning to fail can build resilience and support your well-being? Join us for a captivating lecture (45 minutes) and workshop (45 minutes) led by Paul Iske on 14 May. It's an opportunity to discover how spectacular failures pave the path to profound learning.

Make sure to come early and/or stay longer for drinks, snacks and to visit the well-being market in the foyer of the Vrijhof!
