Workshop: Unlocking the potential of the Toolbox for your education   on 30 August from 10 AM to 12 PM in Utrecht  

In this interactive session, you will discover the features of the Transition Makers Toolbox and find out how to use the tools in your teaching.

Michèle Gerbrands   “In the last 10 years, I have focused on innovating the Dutch higher educational landscape based on the belief that students need more than disciplinary knowledge to become the future problem solvers we need. Complex problems often require adaptability, as the situation can change rapidly or unexpectedly and creative thinking helps students to remain flexible and adaptable in their approach, allowing them to adjust strategies as needed.  

Fostering Collaborative Creativity gives students the tools and techniques to come up with innovative solutions to problems that may not have a straightforward answer. By thinking outside the box and exploring different creative techniques, they may discover new and more effective ways to solve complex problems.”

Roelof Jousma “After working in for-profit business environments over three decades, I switched professions to become a full-time lecturer in 2020. Since then, I strive for a holistic view on business management in education and connect business to sustainable development in my teaching.  

Consumers that understand the effects of their consumption (patterns) and buying behaviour are more likely to include sustainability in buying decisions. Conscious Consumption Quest enables your students to analyse the complex structure of global supply chains and assess the impact created by the products that we buy.”
