VIBING
DAYS

Become a Viking

Two focused sprint events. One shared mission. Building the human network and the intelligent systems that will connect 10,000 students with 1,000+ stakeholders across nine European countries.

Two VIBE Days. One Movement.

Each event is a focused sprint — building the network, the plan, and the momentum to execute at European scale.

VIBE DAY 01

Building the Viking Tribe & the Talent Network

📅 26 – 27 May 2026 📍 Hasselt, Belgium 🛡️ UCLL · E³UDRES²

This is where the movement starts. Two days in Hasselt to form the Viking tribe, build the outreach plan, and leave with a concrete 90-day sprint. We're not waiting for the right moment — we're creating it. 10,000 students and 1,000 stakeholders won't reach themselves.

VIBE DAY 02

AI Pathways in the Talent Funnel

📅 September 2026 📍 Location to follow 🤖 E³UDRES² Alliance

We have the tribe. We have the plan. Now we make it smarter. The second Vibing Day shifts focus to AI integration — how intelligent tools can personalise the student journey, automate stakeholder engagement, and scale the Talent Funnel without scaling the team.

Why this. Why now.

Not another meeting.
A tribe-formation moment.

The Talent App is built on a powerful idea: students and organisations should not have to wait for a job offer to find each other. Right now, most students navigate their learning and career journey largely alone — and most companies still default to a vacancy and a CV.

The Talent App changes that. It gives students a place to develop deeper insight into their own journey and connect with stakeholders who match their purpose and ambition. It gives organisations a window into how Gen Z thinks about work, impact, and meaning.

This is not a recruitment platform. It is an ecosystem. And Vibing Days is how we build the people power to make it real.

Core insight

You don't need to reach 10,000 people yourself. You need 20 to 30 of the right people, each trusted by their own network of 50 to 100. That is how a small team starts a movement.

The format

Vibing Days is a lean, focused sprint format. Think/doers only. People who leave the room and do something. Every session produces a concrete output. The event is designed to repeat — each edition builds on the last.

Three roles. One tribe.

Every Viking has a role. Every role has a clear job to do. The power is that people self-select — they recognise themselves and choose where they belong.

The Helmet

Student Leader

The natural leader that other students listen to. Activates peers on campus, one trusted conversation at a time. Student coaches, ambassadors, and community builders who carry real influence inside their institution.

The Axe

Company Hunter

Committed to convincing businesses to join the ecosystem. Builds the bridge between student talent and real internship and job opportunities. Entrepreneurs, SME owners, and networkers who open doors at scale.

The Horn

Digital Amplifier

Engagement experts trained to reach students and stakeholders through digital channels. Creative with tools and automation. Marketing specialists who build campaigns, run social channels, and amplify every step of the journey.

Focus & expected outcome

Vibing Days has one focus: building that human network in two days, with a concrete plan and a 3-month execution sprint to follow. Think/doers only. People who leave the room and do something. Not another great workshop that fades by Friday.

Three Lenses. One Sprint.

We look at the Talent App from three perspectives — Students, the Platform, and Stakeholders — then converge on a shared campaign and a concrete 90-day execution plan.

The Platform
The ambition
10,000 students · 1,000 stakeholders. Not a target — a threshold. Below it, the network doesn't activate.
Build for the region
The platform answers a real regional need — connecting talent with opportunity in a way that's locally relevant and alliance-wide in scale.

Service with talent
Turn contacts into champions. Show stakeholders the value of European student talent and make them co-owners of the ecosystem.
🚇 Output · METRO Campaigns
Parallel lines.
One destination: real app usage.

METRO is a campaign metaphor — parallel lines running across each region, all converging on the same platform. Every team leaves Hasselt with their own METRO line: a targeted campaign sequence driving students and stakeholders toward one outcome. Plus: a shared impact tagline that gives the movement a voice.

⚡ Output · Sprint Plan
Concrete next steps.
Sept – Dec 2026.

Hasselt is the starting pistol — not the finish line. Every team leaves with a concrete 90-day execution plan: who does what, by when, measured how. The sprint runs September through December, with shared milestones and regular check-ins across all nine alliance partners.

90-day milestones Role ownership Alliance check-ins Shared tracking

This is not for everyone.
And that is intentional.

We need the people inside each partner institution who are closest to students, companies, and the outside world. The connectors. The ones who leave the room and actually do something — for the Talent App.

📣

Marketing & Comms Specialists

HEI professionals who know how to build campaigns, run social channels, and reach students where they are — the people who can drive Talent App activation at campus scale.

🎓

Student Coaches & Advisors

Career advisors, programme directors, and coaches with real campus influence — the people students turn to when thinking about their future. Ideal Talent App ambassadors.

🙋

Student Ambassadors

Community builders who activate peers from the inside. The ones their classmates actually listen to — and the most powerful driver of organic Talent App adoption.

🏭

Entrepreneurs & SME Owners

Ready to post real opportunities and engage with Gen Z talent — not just attend a networking event. The stakeholders who make the Talent App meaningful from day one.

🌐

Regional Stakeholders

Chambers of commerce, innovation hubs, and business clusters who open doors at scale — and connect the Talent App ecosystem to the wider regional economy.

Pre-event recruitment · Deadline 16 April

Every HEI partner is asked to identify and confirm their Viking candidates using the three profile types as selection criteria. Default to the usual suspects and the event loses its force. A specific ask: do not come alone. Bring one or two of your local stakeholders with you to Hasselt — the Talent App needs real company voices in the room from day one.
