What we do

Spiritual care belongs to the ordinary care of people, and it helps make studying and working safe, good and meaningful. It means engaging with what people actually go through. We see our work as standing alongside the other forms of support available.

What it is about

Today especially, students and professionals ask themselves what kind of world they live in and what they can, or want, to contribute to it. Our work is about questions of meaning and belief, about exploring what life asks of you, about personal formation and purpose, about moral judgement and about coming to terms with harrowing events such as danger, violence and death.

How we work

We listen, support and accompany. We take a person's surroundings into account and we look for connection. Spiritual wellbeing is never a purely private matter. A good life and good studies are something you build together.

Education

We see higher education as decisive in the formation of professionals. Education is where you practise for life. We work on personal wellbeing, professional growth, community building and leadership. We also help institutions shape the way questions of meaning and belief are held within their own walls.

Who we are for

We are here for students, PhD candidates and staff of educational institutions, loyal to those who need us and seek us out. We work in confidence, we are bound by professional secrecy and we are independent.

Where we come from

We are shaped by a range of wisdom and religious traditions, and by the world of technical higher education itself. MoTiv has been active at TU Delft for many years and has built a track record there through close collaboration.

Where we are

We work on location and from our own building in the centre of Delft. MoTiv is part of a worldwide network of chaplains and educators in the field.
