Talk 1: “Entrepreneurship & mental health: the healing of community & Music”
What does entrepreneurship really do to your mental health?
In this talk, we dive into the raw reality behind building something of your own: the highs, the pressure, and what it does to your wellbeing along the way. We explore how music and community aren’t just sources of inspiration, but also spaces that can heal, hold you, and connect you when things get heavy.

Talk 2 : “Future proof-fit: streetwear for change”
Streetwear is never “just style”, it’s a language and a tool for change.
In this talk, we explore how fashion, activism and sustainability intersect within the streetwear scene. From circular thinking to cultural impact: how can what you wear become a statement that goes beyond trends and seasons?

Talk 3: “Collab culture: power in joining forces” (Open debat met het publiek)
When streetwear, creativity and community start to genuinely amplify each other, something emerges that goes far beyond collaboration alone. In this interactive talk, we explore the power of collabs, not as a marketing tool, but as a cultural engine that unlocks new energy, ideas and movements within the streetwear scene.

Talk 4: “The business of hype: PR & Marketing”
What if hype isn’t something that just happens, but something that’s carefully built, and who really controls the culture behind it? In this talk, we go behind the scenes of PR and marketing: from sharp storytelling to building brands that actually stick. We look at the tension between strategy and authenticity, and how brands create impact without losing their cultural roots in a world that never stops scrolling.
