Hasselt (Eurotoday): At the University of Hasselt, Professor Koen Van Laer leads efforts to raise awareness about the Gaza humanitarian crisis through lectures, film screenings, and protests. Their initiatives aim to foster community support and dialogue about the urgent needs in Gaza, especially regarding education’s impact due to violence.
At the University of Hasselt, students and professors are joining together to help with the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Professor Koen Van Laer says they have been raising awareness for some time. Over the past year, UHasselt has organized many events to highlight the struggles in Gaza.
How Is UHasselt raising awareness about Gaza’s education crisis?
The University of Hasselt‘s campaign includes various activities to engage and inform the community about the situation in Gaza. It has been said that experts give public lectures to explain the complex political and humanitarian issues, and filming screenings show what life is like in the region. Protests by students and professors also play an important role, expressing a shared desire for change and support for Gaza’s people. Together, these efforts keep the issue alive on campus and show UHasselt’s commitment to raising awareness and advocating for those affected by the crisis.
On the 14th of November, a lecture was held to discuss how the violence in Gaza affects higher education. Several academics, including a professor from a West Bank university, were invited to talk about the role universities should play. Professor Van Laer highlighted that many Palestinian universities have been destroyed and many academics and students have died, making education very limited. He stressed the importance of universities globally thinking about how they can help. Van Laer also mentioned that they are working to create a positive atmosphere at the university, noting that, unlike many places, UHasselt supports open and constructive dialogue about Palestine.

Ah, because nothing says “solidarity” quite like a campaign launched by a university professor—who, let’s face it, probably hasn’t stepped foot in Gaza but can surely fix everything from his cozy office in Hasselt. One can only hope that this noble effort involves more than just a few cheeky hashtags and a cup of lukewarm coffee. After all, if there’s one thing the world needs, it’s more well-meaning academics with a flair for dramatics!

It’s as if the world was just waiting for a gentle nudge from a professor in Hasselt to finally care—because, you know, education and solidarity are just so last season, right? Perhaps next he’ll start a campaign to address the existential crisis of Europeans trying to find a decent cup of coffee in the wrong café.

Ah, nothing says “solidarity” quite like a campaign launched by a professor, because surely the best way to address Gaza’s education crisis is from the cozy confines of a lecture hall in Hasselt. I suppose while he’s at it, he can also solve world hunger with a PowerPoint presentation—after all, that’s how we Europeans love to tackle global issues, isn’t it? Bravo, Professor Van Laer; I daresay you’ve cracked the code to save the world, one academic symposium at a time!

Oh, because who wouldn’t want to tackle a complex educational crisis with the charm of a professor? Perhaps we should all just grab a pint and brainstorm how to fix Gaza’s education system over a few rounds—after all, nothing says “solidarity” like a good laugh in the face of adversity. Bravo, Professor Van Laer, for turning academic lightbulbs into a fundraising bonanza; I’m sure the kids in Gaza are just itching for a slice of that European ingenuity!

Oh, look, it’s Professor Koen Van Laer, the superhero of the academic world, swooping in to rescue Gaza’s education crisis with a solidarity campaign—because nothing says “I care” quite like a well-timed publicity stunt. Perhaps next he’ll launch a campaign to address the real crisis: the number of people still using their university degrees to justify exorbitant coffee prices in European cafes! Bravo, Professor, for turning compassion into a trendy hashtag; I’m sure that’ll work wonders in a region where textbooks are about as common as a good weather forecast in London.
