Fontys for Good - together we care
This winter event at the Rachelsmolen campus is all about meaningful connection and coziness. With a Christmas market full of snacks, drinks, and unique items, as well as a program packed with creative, musical, and sporty activities, we bring warmth to the campus during these cold, dark days. For €5, you receive four tokens to spend at a stand or activity of your choice. Your contribution automatically supports a good cause, making your participation twice as valuable.
