Convivium Galileianum section arts
The stop-motion animation movie ,,Tides'' of our students Sofie Van Dycke, Marilou Blomme en Amélie Defer got us an honourable mention at the Convivium Galileianum (section arts) during the mobility in Potenza!
Convivium Galileianum section essay
Amaury Garcia en Elena Naessens also received an honourable mention for their essay ,,Living under the authoritarian Taliban regime'' (section essay). Amaury edited his research task for human sciences in English: ,,The primary purpose of my article is to study what the psychological implications are when living under an oppressive authoritarian regime with the Taliban as a case in point. First, I will discuss what an oppressive authoritarian regime is and why the Taliban is a good example of such regimes. Secondly, I will study two testimonials of individuals who have experienced life under the Taliban regime. Finally I will argue that the psychological implications of living under such a regime are (1) a loss of identity, (2) PTSD and (3) anxiety disorders.''
