|  | Dear Transition Maker,
Since the launch, we haven’t been sitting on our hands. A few updates from our side:
We’ve added the In Practice page to transitionmakers.nl, an overview where you can read about successful implementation of the tools and learn from the pros. It's a great resource for ideas for using Transition Makers Tools in higher education.
The Dutch version of the Transition Makers card deck is available now! Contact us if you’re interested in receiving a set, free of charge.
Meet us at UNLimited Festival, a gathering about transcending boundaries for everyone who works at, with and for universities in the Netherlands, on 28 September in Den Bosch. You can find us at the Education Innovation Café.
During the global IDG Summit in October, we’re hosting two community events: one in Amsterdam and one in Stockholm.
And there’s more exciting news to share: we are hosting a workshop during the Dutch National Interdisciplinary Education Conference on 15 November in Wageningen.

“I am an educational developer at the Institute for Interdisciplinary Studies (IIS) and a STQ trainer and coach for the Teaching & Learning Centre at the University of Amsterdam. With a background in Cognitive Science and 10 years of experience as the programme director of the Bachelor's programme in Natural and Social Sciences (Bèta-gamma), I'm passionate about change making and I firmly believe in creating more room for experiential learning and interdisciplinary collaboration. I am particularly excited about how the IDGs can contribute significantly in this regard. As the newest member of the Transition Makers team, I am looking forward to expanding the Toolbox and implementing the tools in education across various settings.” | |

“As an assistant professor in International Business at the Amsterdam Business School, I enjoy teaching students to reframe their thoughts into positive feelings. Optimism is something they can learn and gain. They’ll soon realise how nice it is to think optimistically about the future.
Optimism is an important frame of mind to have for anyone, and for students that learn about societal transitions in particular. By doing the Positive Reframing exercise, they’ll learn reframing is not that difficult! It is a matter of practice, and we benefit greatly from optimistic thinking. It is good to start practicing this as we can transform our basic interpretational habits into more optimistic ones.” | |
