Duke - Programme Creator

Hi, I’m Duke! I’m third-year Communications student with a big love for program making and organizing events. I’m someone who gets way too excited about turning random ideas into actual, unforgettable experiences. If you ever have a cool idea for an event, I’m always down to brainstorm and make it happen. When I’m not busy planning the next big thing, you’ll probably find me doing sports or reading (yes, mostly psychology and geopolitics — I’m that person). I can be serious when needed, but 90% of the time I run on enthusiasm and good vibes.

Chris - Promotions officer

Hi! My name is Chris, I’m a Communication and Multi-Media Design student so working as a promotor and designing all the online and offline visuals is right up my alley. I’m passionate about design, social media, and staying on top of trends, pop culture, and celebrity drama. When I’m not designing, you’ll probably find me listening to music, watching movies, “borrelen” with friends, or obsessing over sharks.

I’m a Creative Business student, and work as a promotions officer for the English-spoken events at Podium. I love travelling, and am always excited to explore new cafés and restaurants. My biggest passions are fashion and interior design, so you’ll often find me scrolling through Pinterest for fresh ideas. I can’t wait to bring my sense for style and creativity into my role at Podium!

Roselyn - marketing and communications coordinator

Together with my colleagues I make sure that all the awesome Podium events find an even wider audience. I consider myself a cultural omnivore, I love going to (post-punk and indie) concerts, arthouse films, the theatre, debate programmes and literary events… But most of all, I love the visual arts, that’s why I also study part time at the art academy in The Hague.

Iris - programme coordinator

At Podium I help the international programme creators develop exciting events in English. I love how art (literature, theatre, cinema, etc.) can entice you to think about yourself and the world around you. At Podium I’ve merged my passion for culture and work experience in a job. When I'm not at work you can probably find me curled up on the couch with a good book, at the cinema, or in the yoga studio.

Orélie - programme coordinator

At Podium, I mentor students who create events. Events that touch, surprise, or simply offer a new perspective. For me, art is the place where all of this comes together: it helps you step outside your comfort zone and think differently. In my free time, you'll often find me dancing or exploring street art spots for new inspiration.
