We are able to achieve big things when we stay connected online 24/7, but it also increases the need for a warm space where you can be the person you truly are. Imagine a place where you can grow by attending inspiring workshops and relating to other students. This way, your connections extend beyond your online persona, bringing you closer to yourself.
Since the 2024-2025 academic year, you can experience just that at CABIN, an empowering meeting place at GATE15, the hub for and by Antwerp students.

In the Great Antwerp Student Survey, students placed mental well-being high on the agenda. So STAN joined forces with JAC Antwerpen and from that moment CABIN was born. In CABIN you can find peace and quiet, attend workshops, follow the live recordings of their podcast CABIN talks, meet other students and find a listening ear if you need one. Self care is the main focus at CABIN: you are welcome here on both your good and bad days, to chill, to talk, to study… always room for coffee and a chat.
But that’s not all! Every month, we curate a program of inspiring group activities tailored to the specific time of the academic year. The best part? You can contribute ideas for these workshops, because everything is created for students, by students.
With the podcast CABIN Talks, CABIN dives into a different topic from student life every month, together with professionals, experts by experience, and students.
The result? Often funny and relatable moments mixed with deeply serious conversations. Join the live recordings or listen again on Spotify to get helpful tips, new insights, and most of all, a sense of connection!
Need someone to talk to? You’re at the right address! At CABIN, a team of volunteers will guide you. On Tuesday and Thursday mornings professionals are available for a talk. Prefer to book a conversation with a JAC staff member? You can do so via this link.
