Triggering Team Trust is useful in a course in which students extensively work together on complex projects. I coached hundreds of student teams and realised that team dynamics can make a huge difference in those projects: teams with a high level of trust can create a lot of synergy.
However, building trust is not always easy. Therefore, I created this tool to help students improve trust within their teams.
The education we develop and teach focuses on transdisciplinary teaching initiatives, closing the gap between science and society. We are also conducting evaluative education research on students’ experiences and skills gained during transdisciplinary education. Our Onboarding tool is based on the need to facilitate transdisciplinary collaboration in the Bachelor’s programme in Computational Social Sciences.
As a teacher in transdisciplinary and transition-focused courses, I guide students to collaborate with societal partners. My role is to help students prepare for engaging with complex challenges, for example, through Placemaking and systemic sustainability approaches.
I work as a knowledge and learning advisor. To achieve a more sustainable future, I believe we should not only keep our human perspective in mind but non-human perspectives as well – such as animals, plants, rivers, trees, oceans, and so on. Inviting Non-Human Stakeholders teaches students to empathise with non-human perspectives.
