With the Placet Center, you can take a break, have fun, learn, be advised and supported, and above all feel surrounded. (...)

There was an event with a project kot (Editor's note: Alimentakot) which taught us how to cook. Their mission impressed me a lot: to help everyone eat well, and to support those who do not have the means or skills to do so. Cooking seems simple, but it's a real challenge, especially when you're a student, often away from home.

The best thing is to come and discover it for yourself. Participate, try, exchange, and you will see all the beautiful things that the Placet Center has to offer you!
