This open access book is a valuable resource for students in health and other professions and practicing professionals interested in supporting effective change in self-management behaviors in chronic disease, such as medication taking, physical activity and healthy eating. Developed under the auspices of the Train4Health project, funded by the Erasmus+ program of the European Union, the book contains six chapters written by international contributors from different disciplines. This chapter sets the stage for the remaining book, by introducing the Train4Health project and by explaining how the learning outcomes presented in subsequent chapters have been derived and linked with content of the book. Firstly, the Train4Health interprofessional competency framework to support behaviour change in persons self-managing chronic disease is briefly presented. This European competency framework was the starting point for developing the learning outcomes-based curriculum, which is succinctly addressed in the subsequent section. Finally, practical considerations about the Train4Health curriculum are discussed, including opportunities and challenges for interprofessional education.

Citizens regularly search the Web to make informed decisions on daily life questions, like online purchases, but how they reason with the results is unknown. This reasoning involves engaging with data in ways that require statistical literacy, which is crucial for navigating contemporary data. However, many adults struggle to critically evaluate and interpret such data and make data-informed decisions. Existing literature provides limited insight into how citizens engage with web-sourced information. We investigated: How do adults reason statistically with web-search results to answer daily life questions? In this case study, we observed and interviewed three vocationally educated adults searching for products or mortgages. Unlike data producers, consumers handle pre-existing, often ambiguous data with unclear populations and no single dataset. Participants encountered unstructured (web links) and structured data (prices). We analysed their reasoning and the process of preparing data, which is part of data-ing. Key data-ing actions included judging relevance and trustworthiness of the data and using proxy variables when relevant data were missing (e.g., price for product quality). Participants’ statistical reasoning was mainly informal. For example, they reasoned about association but did not calculate a measure of it, nor assess underlying distributions. This study theoretically contributes to understanding data-ing and why contemporary data may necessitate updating the investigative cycle. As current education focuses mainly on producers’ tasks, we advocate including consumers’ tasks by using authentic contexts (e.g., music, environment, deferred payment) to promote data exploration, informal statistical reasoning, and critical web-search skills—including selecting and filtering information, identifying bias, and evaluating sources.

The world is rapidly transforming. Economic, ecological and technological developments transcend existing boundaries and challenge the way we innovate. The challenge we face is to reinvent innovation as well, changing the way organisations and industries innovate and cooperate. Only with a new approach we can design a better future: an approach where stakeholders from government, organisations, companies and users participate in new ways of collaboration; an approach where solutions are realised that makes our society future-proof. Participatory innovation means that the innovation team changes: expanding beyond the boundaries of the own organisation. For organisations and companies, this is a huge step. Every partner must be willing to think and act beyond their own borders and participate in a joint effort. Participative innovation is a new way of working, where new challenges are encountered. In the field of urban lighting, this transformation is strongly felt. This paper will further explore the challenge and describe a rich case study where participative innovation is used to rethink, redesign and realise the solutions to transform urban lighting from functional lighting to improving social quality.

In dit hoofdstuk staat centraal wat vakdidactische expertise is, waarom het essentieel is en hoe je als leraar deze expertise kunt blijven ontwikkelen. Voor elke leraar gelden drie vakdidactische kernvragen: • Wat is echt de moeite waard om te onderwijzen over dit thema? • Hoe kan ik dit onderwijzen? • Hoe kan ik nagaan wat leerlingen hebben geleerd

Over the last decade, sport and physical activity have become increasingly recognised and implemented as tools to foster social cohesion in neighbourhoods, cities and communities around Europe. As a result, numerous programmes have emerged that attempt to enhance social cohesion through a variety of sport-based approaches (Moustakas, Sanders, Schlenker, & Robrade, 2021; Svensson & Woods, 2017). However, despite this boom in sport and social cohesion, current definitions and understandings of social cohesion rarely take into account the needs, expectations or views of practitioners, stakeholders and, especially, participants on the ground (Raw, Sherry, & Rowe, 2021). Yet, to truly foster broad social outcomes like social cohesion, there is increasing recognition that programmes must move beyond interventions that only focus on the individual level, and instead find ways to work with and engage a wide array of stakeholders and organisations (Hartmann & Kwauk, 2011; Moustakas, 2022). In turn, this allows programmes to respond to community needs, foster engagement, deliver more sustainable outcomes, and work at both the individual and institutional levels. The Living Lab concept - which is distinguished by multi-stakeholder involvement, user engagement, innovation and co-creation within a real-life setting - provides an innovative approach to help achieve these goals. More formally, Living Labs have been defined as “user-centred, open innovation ecosystems based on a systematic user co-creation approach, integrating research and innovation processes in real-life communities and settings” (European Network of Living Labs, 2021). Thus, this can be a powerful approach to engage a wide array of stakeholders, and create interventions that are responsive to community needs. As such, the Sport for Social Cohesion Lab (SSCL) project was conceived to implement a Living Lab approach within five sport for social cohesion programmes in four different European countries. This approach was chosen to help programmes directly engage programme participants, generate understanding of the elements that promote social cohesion in a sport setting and to co-create activities and tools to explore, support and understand social cohesion within these communities. The following toolkit reflects our multi-national experiences designing and implementing Living Labs across these various contexts. Our partners represent a variety of settings, from schools to community-based organisations, and together these experiences can provide valuable insights to other sport (and non-sport) organisations wishing to implement a Living Lab approach within their contexts and programmes. Thus, practitioners and implementers of community-based programmes should be understood as the immediate target group of this toolkit, though the insights and reflections included here can be of relevance for any individual or organisation seeking to use more participatory approaches within their work. In particular, in the coming sections, this toolkit will define the Living Lab concept more precisely, suggest some steps to launch a Living Lab, and offer insights on how to implement the different components of a Living Lab.

Op 1 oktober jl. heeft de Commissie Toekomst Accountancysector (CTA) haar voorlopige bevindingen [12] gepresenteerd in het kader van het door de minister van Financiën ingestelde onderzoek naar de mogelijkheden om de kwaliteit van de wettelijke accountantscontrole duurzaam te verhogen. In deze voorlopige bevindingen, bestaande uit – 348 bullets verdeeld over 101 pagina’s en over 12 hoofdstukken – gaat het veel over kwaliteit en slechts beperkt over transparantie. Het (deel)woord ‘kwaliteit’ komt 402 maal voor. Het woord ‘transparantie’ komt daarentegen slechts 18 maal voor. Op verzoek van de CTA heeft het Erasmus Competition & Regulation institute (ECRi) een literatuurstudie uitgevoerd naar kwaliteitsverbeterende maatregelen in de accountancysector [11]. In deze literatuurstudie komt het woord ‘transparantie’ 10 maal voor (transparency, 2 maal).

Het betrekken van het gezin en ouders in de logopedische behandeling wordt steeds belangrijker gevonden. Een vorm van betrokkenheid is het gezamenlijk opstellen van doelen voor de logopedische behandeling. Dit gaat niet altijd vanzelf; een logopedist kan sturend zijn en/of een ouder afwachtend omdat niet duidelijk is welke rol/inbreng wordt verwacht. Keuzetools, zoals de tool ENGAGE, hebben als doel de logopedist en ouders van kinderen met TOS te ondersteunen in het gezamenlijk opstellen van doelen. In evaluatiegesprekken met logopedisten die ENGAGE hebben gebruikt werd een positief effect op de samenwerking met ouders genoemd. In deze studie is via interviews met logopedisten nagegaan wat de verandering in de samenwerking inhield, en hoe en wanneer deze verandering plaatsvond. Uit de analyse van de interviews komen verschillende contextfactoren, mechanismen en uitkomsten naar voren die door logopedisten gelinkt worden aan ouderbetrokkenheid. Er lijken drie effecten te zijn die bijdragen aan de ervaren positieve samenwerking: 1) een open en luisterende houding van de logopedist en hierdoor een grotere inbreng van ouders in het gesprek, 2) meer uitwisseling en kennis en hierdoor meer wederzijds begrip tussen logopedist en ouders en passende en relevante doelstellingen en 3) het proces van gezamenlijk opstellen van doelen en hierdoor meer ervaren ouderbetrokkenheid.

The presentation of management information on screens and paper is aimed at the initiation of control actions in order to bring about predefinied goals. The terms and concepts used in this control information can be interptreted in different ways. It is of vital importance that adequate definitions for these terms and concepts are provided, because of the area of tension betrween those that control and those being controlled. The creation of a common conceptual framework and the maintenance of concepts and definitions can be supported by the construction of an organization-specific lexicon and the use of modern IT tools.

The urgency to innovate for organisational survival has become increasingly recognized, with the result that innovation has conquered a position high on the management agenda. However, the unfamiliarity around innovation pose a challenge for innovation management. No unique solution exists to building a successful innovation approach, such that firms are forced to experiment with innovation approaches. In analysing the innovation approaches of four large international organisations we find that these organisations share an essential common element: the presence of one or more ‘visionary innovators’ who are determined to lead a movement towards organisational change. We present a theoretical framework to illustrate four core characteristics of a visionary innovator, based on empirical evidence. The visionary innovators possesses traits to discover and realise innovations, business and political know-how, the ability to create and share a vision and space to realise that vision. We propose that a visionary innovator determined to spread such a mindset is indispensable to successfully achieve innovation. LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christine-de-lille-8039372/
