Ways to support earthquake victims in Turkey and Syria
It is with great sadness and care that we stand with members of our community who have been impacted by this tragedy.
To DAE students who may be in need of support, the Academy encourages you to contact Student Counsellor Olga Pullens and Mona Smits. To book a confidential appointment, email olga.pullens@designacademy.nl or mona.smits@designacademy.nl.
