‘You don’t know what they know’

‘Unlike many other summer schools, this isn’t just a regular school in summer. It’s unique and it involves a lot more than just going to class,’ says Luuk Collou, one of the teachers at CuriousU. What does this ‘uniqueness’ mean for the teachers? How do they experience this festival of learning - and teaching?

CuriousU: ‘Een pretpark voor slimme mensen’

‘Dale, dale, dale, no pierdas el tino!’, zingt de Mexicaanse Nadia Wriu Zamora uit volle borst. Vrij vertaald: ‘slaan, slaan, slaan, maar blijf goed mikken!’. Met dit strijdlied moedigt de UT-masterstudent de deelnemers van UT-summerschool CuriousU aan om een piñata vol snoep zo hard mogelijk te raken. De Mexicaanse traditie is een van de lunchactiviteiten vandaag.

CuriousU: ‘A funfair for smart people’

‘Dale, dale, dale, no pierdas el tino!’, sings the Mexican student Nadia Wriu Zamora at the top of her lungs. Freely translated this means: ‘Hit, hit, hit, but keep aiming properly!’ The UT Master’s student uses this battle song to encourage participants of the CuriousU summer school to hit the piñata full of candy. This Mexican tradition was one of yesterday’s lunch activities at CuriousU.
