Young Universalis 2026 has been crowned!

On Tuesday 20 May, the second edition of Young Universalis took place. As part of this initiative organised by Young Stadsbader, colleagues under the age of 36 came together for an afternoon full of challenges, team spirit and fun.

The participants were divided into teams at random and competed against one another in a series of varied challenges. Teamwork, creativity and perseverance were key. From a chair obstacle course and a nail-hammering relay to building a bridge out of spaghetti, solving puzzles and drawing up a site plan: each team was challenged in different ways. Classics such as sack races, a wheelbarrow obstacle course and a Stadsbader quiz also provided plenty of competition and a lively atmosphere.

As well as the challenges, there was ample opportunity to get to know colleagues from different departments and branches better. Music, refreshments and an inspiring speaker rounded off the afternoon.

The finale was ultimately decided by a thrilling game of musical chairs, after which one participant was officially crowned Young Universalis.

With this second edition, Young Universalis proved itself to be a successful initiative that brings colleagues together, creates new connections and strengthens team spirit within Stadsbader. A fine example of how we not only build projects together, but also build each other up. We Build As One.
