IssueIn the Netherlands, the National Public Health Foresight Study (PHF) is published every 4 years, as starting point for national and local public health policy development. As these policies impact citizens’ health and lives, it is important to include their voices. We piloted an approach to strengthen this engagement to learn and to inspire PHF in other (country) settings.Problem descriptionPHF is usually expert-based. Citizen engagement, beyond consultation, is not yet common practice. In the Dutch PHF-2024, we engage citizens both as advisors (citizen council, N = 30 and panel, N = 500) and as target group (focusgroups N = 40). Intentionally the scope is diffuse, allowing for unexpected input. What can we learn from this approach, and how do the citizens contribute to the PHF?Results- Citizens of all ages, backgrounds and education types are well able to discuss health (determinants), data and indicators;- They have intrinsic motivation to contribute to better knowledge, feel responsible for effective engagement and are eager to engage across different backgrounds and population groups;- Integration of outcome into the PHF process is valuable, enriching scientific with experiential knowledge and facilitating results communication;- Fundamental questions, e.g., about foresight time frames (“why look so far ahead as the world is in crisis right now!”) are raised by the citizens, showing that these need to be better addressed in order to make PHF relevant for a broader public.Lessons- More permanent engagement of the citizens is needed to enable learning and development;- earlier engagement in the PHF process may enable joint development of core questions and issues to be addressed;- The results are highly encouraging; piloting this approach in other foresight types and in various contexts is therefore needed to refine and further develop it.Key messages• Citizen engagement can and should be strengthened to include citizen voices in the PHF process, informing policies that impact on their lives.• Citizens of all backgrounds, with their experiential knowledge, can be valuable partners in PHF, that provide important input.

Educational change often fails due to its complexity: differing, even contradictory factors, agents, goals, norms or beliefs are involved. Too often practitioners, researchers and educators try to reduce or even ignore tensions, paradoxes and uncertainties and search for clear procedures and the one and only best solution in achieving the foreseen change. In this article, we discuss a valuable theoretical framework from organizational science, paradox theory, to understand why many change efforts fail and how to enhance the effectiveness and sustainability of change. We propose that (1) educational change is characterized by complexity; (2) that change therefore is inherently associated with tensions and paradoxes; (3) that paradox theory can help to understand and improve complex educational change by 3a) providing a lens to recognize, label, and acknowledge paradoxes and their interactions and 3b) investigate how to handle these paradoxes to foster effective and sustainable educational change (i.e. to find a dynamic equilibrium). Based on these important lessons we propose a three-step model to investigate and improve educational change processes.

Klimaat en duurzaamheid vinden we nauwelijks terug in schoolboeken en examenprogramma’s (behalve bij nlt), maar het zijn wel bèta-thema’s waar leerlingen zich druk over maken. De voorspellingen kunnen bedreigend zijn, en bèta-kennis zou minstens moeten helpen feit en fictie te scheiden. Als leraar hoef je niet alles te weten, maar je wilt goed geïnformeerd de dialoog aangaan. Welk boek helpt daarbij?

The Autumn 2015 edition is a special issue of non-fiction and artwork on the subject of technê and technology. This issue confronts the difficult questions of our time: Where are these tools and technologies leading us? What does it mean for the natural world and our own humanity? And how do we live through this? Jan van Boeckel writes of the documentary he made on 20th century techno-sage Jacques Ellul.

Work during vacation is publicly and theoretically seen as detrimental to vacationers' quality of life. This study investigated whether work during vacation affects vacationers' quality of life in terms of intensity of felt emotions and needs fulfillment. A sample of international tourists in the Netherlands (N = 374) took part in a street survey. Findings indicate that workers' and nonworkers' emotional experience is not statistically different during vacation. The fulfillment of needs is also identical between workers and nonworkers. Ninety-seven percent of workers are satisfied with the balance between work and leisure time during vacation. These findings suggest that working tourists effectively combine work and leisure. Some dissatisfaction did arise from the lack of certain work facilities. Implications for the tourism industry and suggestions for further research are provided.
