Thank you very much for organizing and for writing it up (and for inviting me)!
I’m wondering whether this concept can be transferred one-to-one to other regions. I think a major advantage was that the event could be promoted via the Vegan Student Associations in various Dutch cities. That way, you reach exactly the right target group:
Interested in animal welfare
Interested in career advice /​ inspiration
Not necessarily already in contact with EA (which increases the counterfactual impact of the event).
When I think about whether such an event would also make sense in Germany for example, I find it unfortunate that there aren’t really Vegan Student Associations here. That probably also has to do with university culture, there simply aren’t student associations for every hobby and interest. It’s possible there are some vegan student groups that I’m just not aware of. Otherwise, I would think that maybe the Plant-Based Universities groups could be approached.
That said, I suspect that organizing such an event would still be effective even without such highly targeted promotion channels. I’m looking forward to seeing more of this!
