The people of the organization who you will probably see most will be the mentors. The mentors will be your guides for the introduction week. Below you can find some descriptions of the mentors, you can also go to our instagram, here you will also find pictures of our lovely mentors.

5-DAY MENTORS

Renas & Isabelle
Renas and Isabelle met each other at the previous introcamp, where Renas immediately fell in love with Isabelle’s voice. Isabelle thinks Renas is a kind teddybear, while Renas has so many positive things to say about Isabelle that he can’t even choose. The only thing Isabelle does not like about Renas is the sound he makes in bed, and then we mean his snoring. Luckily, Renas will be mostly awake during the introduction week. With their great humor and listening ears, they will make sure everyone has a good time!
P.S. ask about the zebra horse. 🦄

Mats & Yiva
On a lovely sunny day in ‘de Achterhoek’, Mats saw a girl running past him. He fell immediately in love with her running spirit and he found out that this girl was named Yiva. Yiva was at first startled by Mats appearance, but she soon learned that this big guy can be very friendly and very ‘Gezellig’. That’s why they will be the most fun group, as they said themselves. This lovely couple is kind of chaotic, but together they will make sure to give their kids the time of their lives. They both love the thrill of adrenaline (just not bungee jumping for Mats), so be careful during this introduction week with these two!

Britt & Gaet
This sporty couple knows each other very well, as they are co-chairs of the sports committee! They are also both studying Biology and therefore know exactly what to expect from each other during the introduction week. They even made a distribution of the responsibility: Britt will take the day and Gaet the night. Britt has her facts straight, so this will be handy to keep all the kids under control, while Gaet makes sure all the kids will be entertained by his jokes. A perfect blend, we would say. We can’t wait to see them in action!

Stella & Thomas
Stella and Thomas (aka Jonkie) met during a (friendly) football match last summer. They could not answer who won the game, so a rematch will sure be the case sometime. Maybe even with a team of their own kids! When asked who will be the most responsible they answered that this depends if they are sober or not: Stella when they are sober and Thomas when they have had a drink or two. Speaking about drinks, both are part of the Alcoholaat: the bar committee of Gyrinus. So, if you’re in need of a nice beer, just ask this lovely couple!

Joram & Bobby
Joram and Bobby are the perfect combination of crazy and responsible. They met each other in the previous introduction week, but sadly it was not love at first sight. Bobby thought Joram was very intimidating, but eventually, she got to see the real Joram; everyone’s friend. These roller skating parents are both die-hard Gyrini and they will share their love of Gyrinus with their kids. In short, they will make sure you will have an awesome week!
P.S. Make sure Joram pays for your uber, you’ll get home in a tesla.

Timo & Lente
Timo and Lente did not know each other very well before their adventure together started. Luckily, it was love right away when they found out they both love pasta very much. While Lente is still a kid herself, Timo is sure that she can keep the other kids under control. Furthermore, with Timo his experience of the past year as a mentor, he knows how to give everyone a good time. The perfect recipe for a lovely week!

Noor & Terra
You can hear Noor and Terra already from a big distance because of their pretty distinctive laughter. The only thing these two do together is laugh (or smoke). They met each other during the ski trip of Gyrinus this year and found out they had a lot in common, especially when it comes to wine. Terra is the mom of the group and she always brings snacks. Unfortunately not for her children though, only Noor can taste them. Noor returns the favor by always giving the drinks she does not like to Terra. You will probably have a lot of fun with these two, but maybe buy some earplugs if you still want to be able to use your ears after this week.

Aafke & Julie
This lovely couple hasn’t known each other for that long, but they hit it off quite well. Apparently, they are very alike and complement each other often. “When Aafke gets grumpy, Julie can cheer her up in an instant.” The only thing Aafke eats is lasagne, so be ready to eat 5 kg of that. Julie may be a little bit chaotic, but she is always positive. Together they will make it an introduction week to never forget as they will bring a lot of joy and ‘gezelligheid’ to the group! (As long as you pay the WBW)

Noa & Jaime
Noa and Jaime met at the first lecture of the academic year. Noa thought his name was Jaibe. Eventually, she invited him to the borrel and he was immediately in love with Gyrinus. He even joined the Feestcie where Noa was coincidentally chairwoman. Now they are the perfect couple to have parties with (or organize them)! Jaime and Noa are both very positive-minded, so even though Jaime is crippled at the moment, they will make sure he still goes to all the activities and stays until the end. If they are your parents, you are in for a week of so much fun!

Yente & Martijn
Martijn and Yente met through a mutual friend and have been inseparable ever since. Yente can be a bit chaotic but is a true sweetheart, while Martijn is kinda impulsive but therefore always fun. A perfect blend, as they would say themselves. They will make sure you party hard as they do not need much sleep. Yente only needs 3 hours to function, so it will be no problem to stay awake for the kids. The only things she has difficulties with are spicy things. Martijn on the other hand can handle the stuff, but if you really want to make him happy, you should bring an avocado. An interesting but fun week awaits with this couple!

Sven & Iris
Sven and Iris met at the biocamp last year where they played a game called ‘stressen’. According to Iris, Sven cheated, but Sven said that Iris was just bad. After this argument they went on drinking and became ‘romige’ buddies. Sven is notorious for having to get picked up by the yellow bus, but Iris isn’t holy either. She drank from a broken bottle and cut her lip entirely open. When they aren’t in the hospital, they will make sure you are always having fun during the introduction week!

Sven & Tessa
At mentor training weekend Sven was playing one of his famous songs as DJ when suddenly a nice girl with red hair appeared before his table. Coincidentally, red is Sven his favorite colour so he was immediately interested. The girl introduced herself as Tessa and the rest was history. Tessa is always happy and knows how to make people excited. Sven could be described as ‘indescribable’ (in a positive way), according to Tessa. To get to know each other even better, they went bouldering and climbed to enormous heights (later more about this lovely date). Will they also climb as quickly to success this introduction week? Let’s find out!

Yu-Wen & Sacha
During a party, that Sacha didn’t even want to go to, she was introduced to Yu-Wen by a mutual friend. One year later they have the same group of friends and are even going on a holiday together. According to Sacha, Yu-Wen is never on time and is a bit hyperactive but he makes up for it with his humor. On the flip side, Sacha is the more responsible of the two and is also the most lovable person Yu-Wen knows. This combination of fun and seriousness will provide an awesome introduction week for you!

Tommy & Mette
Once upon a time, Tommy saw a blonde girl lying in a hammock. He thought this was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. On the other side, Mette saw a boy she immediately fell in love with. This couple is the perfect combination of beauty and funniness. Mette is a bit chaotic and Tommy is a bit dominant. They both like to be active until the night hours. In short, they are both very alike and are very outgoing. These people will make sure you will have the best week of your life!

Harm & Susan
It was a normal Wednesdayborrel when Susan ordered a drink at the Tegenstelling. She was grabbing her stellingkaart, then looked up and saw this lovely big-nosed man serving her. It was Harm saying: “This one is on me.” The two went on talking and there was a connection made. Harm is very attentive according to Susan and Susan is very …, well let’s say attractive. This Italian food-loving couple is ready to give everything up for a week so that you will have a great time!

Owen & Ece
When Owen was sick during biocamp, Ece did not hesitate to take care of him. With her delicate care, Owen immediately fell in love with this Turkish beauty. Now they are like rum & coke: the perfect mix (according to Ece). They even plan on getting a tattoo together, doesn’t that sound romantic? We can’t wait to see how this will turn out! For the introduction week, they plan to make everything as fun as possible. Even though Owen is sometimes a little bit dead inside, Ece is sure she can fix everything with her positive energy. A wild mix that will make sure you enjoy every minute!

Bruce & Maartje
During a weekend with all the mentors, Maartje saw something shining on the horizon. It was Bruce’s wonderful brace. Maartje immediately fell in love with the shinyness of this construct on Bruce’s leg, but also a bit because of his personality of course. However, she thinks Bruce looks a bit lost, so she hopes she can show him the way. Bruce doesn’t quite know what to think of Maartje, maybe because he looks lost, but he does think she is very amusing. They are going darting for a date. Well hopefully, because you have to twist your leg…
This powercouple will make sure you have an awesome week and we hope you can play darts 😉

Floor & Marnik
Last Introduction week, Marnik saw Floor walking by and he immediately fell in love with this outstanding girl. He even twisted his neck when looking, but maybe that’s just because he is a bit older. Marnik is the introdad of dads, as he has walked the Gyrinus hallways for quite some years already. Floor, on the other hand, is in her second year right now. Making them the perfect mix of old and new. Marnik can handle quite a few drinks (and he also knows a lot about it, especially whisky), while Floor is already under the table after 2 beers. Nevertheless, she is always a ray of sunshine who has no trouble talking to every type of person. In a couple of weeks, this couple will go to Lowlands together, where they will already get in the party mood to make it a week you will never forget!
P.s. keep your paintings away from Floor
