This project builds upon a collaboration which has been established since 15 years in the field of social work between teachers and lecturers of Zuyd University, HU University and Elte University. Another network joining this project was CARe Europe, an NGO aimed at improving community care throughout Europe. Before the start of the project already HU University, Tallinn Mental Health Centre and Kwintes were participating in this network. In the course of several international meetings (e.g. CARe Europe conference in Prague in 2005, ENSACT conferences in Dubrovnik in 2009, and Brussels in April 2011, ESN conference in Brussels in March 2011), and many local meetings, it became clear that professionals in the social sector have difficulties to change current practices. There is a great need to develop new methods, which professionals can use to create community care.
“Critical Making in Collaboration with Nature”, discusses the outcomes of the Making Sustainability Work project from Fall 2020. With support of CoECI Zaaigelden scheme, the Critical Making learning community put together a group of makers from research, education and industry to explore the implications of designing with natural materials and biological processes, such as biopolymers, fungal composites and bacteria dye. By following a selection of modules from the Fabricademy global training program, participants explored hands-on techniques to create their own design materials and colours from renewable and biodegradable resources and documented their journeys. The shared experience was reflected upon in a series of interviews and essays touching on the following questions: • In what way do unruly natural materials challenge ways of doing and teaching design? • How do grown materials fit into or challenge makers’ goals of sustainability?• What is needed to bring biological processes into communities of practice in the field of design, art and making?• How and when does criticality emerge in the making process? • How do processes of thinking and doing intersect and what is the role of social interactions and collaboration?
Deze review van de literatuur richt zich in het bijzonder op de sociale dynamiek rondom geweld in de publieke ruimte. In gevallen waarin de online dynamiek het gebruik van geweld oproept of stimuleert spreken we van ‘online aanjaging’. Hoe kunnen netwerkpartners die verantwoordelijk zijn voor de openbare orde en veiligheid zich in deze online dynamiek mengen, en welke gevolgen heeft de online aanwezigheid van deze netwerkpartners? Gemeenten werken in deze vraagstukken samen aan een integrale aanpak in een netwerk van partners zoals politie en jongerenwerk, maar ook scholen en reclassering. Om het raakvlak met het werkveld voldoende te borgen is de review aangevuld met een stakeholdersbijeenkomst van AcVZ met netwerkpartners, waarnaar we op relevante plaatsen in dit rapport verwijzen. Deze vond plaats voordat de review is uitgevoerd.
