UnliMited Connects Week 2025

-

The UnliMited Network organises activities to connect students, staff and PhD candidates with (in)visible disabilities, chronic conditions and neurodivergence and the wider UM community during the Connects Week  from 17-23 March 2025.

Let's connect and learn!

Mon 17.3 - DIGging into Disability Inclusion

Maastricht University is taking a significant step toward disability inclusion with the formation of the Disability Inclusion Group (DIG)—an advisory body created by and for staff with disabilities, chronic illnesses, and neurodivergence.

As an integral part of the UnliMited-Staff network, DIG will collaborate closely with university leadership, offering expert advice that aligns with our needs.

This introductory event, hosted by the UnliMited-Staff network, will provide an opportunity to learn more about DIG’s mission, objectives, and the role it will play within UM.

Wed 19.3 - Meet Your Buddy

To kick-off the start of UnliMited-Students' Buddy Programme the pairs will meet for the first time.

Registration for this round of our Buddy Programme is closed. We hope to start a new round in spring.

Wed 19.3 - Talking Circles

Would you like to talk with and discuss the topics of disability, chronic illness and/or neurodivergence with fellow students? Then our Talking Circles event is the thing for you!

During this event, you will get the opportunity to have low threshold discussions with your peers. You can do this with the assistance of an UM psychologist if wanted. We will prepare questions or topics in advance, but you are open to discuss whatever topic you feel fits best. 

You are welcome to share your disability, chronic illness and/or neurodivergence, but feel no pressure to!

For students and PhD-students

Sat 22.3 - Slow Yoga Flow

In collaboration with UM Sports the UnliMited Network connects body & mind:

Slow (restorative) yoga flow

During this calm and relaxing yoga class, you warm up your body through gentle yoga exercises and postures. Many variations are possible. You alternate with deeper stretches, allowing your body to relax into a pose, possibly with the help of props such as pillows or blankets.

Under the guidance of an experienced yoga teacher, you can experience shifting your attention from your mind to your breath and body. 

Spots are limited to 25. For all members of UnliMited! Students, staff and PhD candidates.
