Aanleiding voor onderzoek naar de expertise van leraren in cluster 4 is in ieder geval ‘Passend onderwijs’: het streven van de overheid om leerlingen met problemen of stoornissen meer thuis nabij op te vangen, waar mogelijk in regulier of speciaal basisonderwijs. Bij het streven naar Passend Onderwijs rijst de vraag of en in hoeverre leraren speciale expertise nodig hebben om kinderen met (milde) gedragsproblemen in regulier onderwijs te onderwijzen. Maar vooral ook waaruit die expertise dient te bestaan. Daarnaast is er vanuit het cluster 4 onderwijs zelf de vraag of de sterke groei van het aantal leerlingen in dat cluster in het afgelopen decennium is samengegaan met gelijke groei van goed geschoold personeel voor deze leerlingen. En vervolgens de vraag: op welke punten is verdere scholing van leraren geboden om ze voldoende toe te rusten voor cluster 4. Ten slotte vraagt de overheid tegenwoordig om een duidelijke verantwoording van kosten en van kwaliteit van onderwijszorg (CPB, 2009). Tegen de achtergrond van deze vragen kwam de vraag op naar concretisering van de expertise van leraren in het omgaan met leerlingen met (milde) gedragsproblemen.

Essay 3 in Kansen in kunst. Mensen met een verstandelijke of psychische beperking barsten van de mogelijkheden en talenten, zo is uit het project Kunst Inclusief gebleken. Zij willen deze talenten maar al te graag ontwikkelen en laten zien. Een aantal van hen lukt dit uitstekend op eigen kracht, anderen hebben daarvoor ruimte en support nodig. Ruimte creëren in de samenleving voor mensen die ’anders’ zijn staat wel bekend onder de noemer ‘kwartiermaken’. Deze benadering is uitgewerkt door Doortje Kal (2001; zie www.kwartiermaken.nl). Het draait hierbij om het creëren van gastvrijheid. Bij kunstbeoefening gaat het dan bijvoorbeeld om het creëren van gastvrije ruimte bij educatieve centra, in amateurgezelschappen, bij exposities en festivals. Soms moet ‘het normale’ hierbij even worden opgeschort. Hiermee bedoelt Kal de gebruikelijke gang van zaken, zoals het reguliere aanbod van kunsteducatiecentra of de normen die bij kunstbeoefening gelden. Kwartiermaken richt zich op het verbeteren van toegankelijkheid
Closer Connections aims to build a coherent, cross-academy, virtual- and augmented reality strategy to contribute to the European agenda: “a Europe fit for the digital age”. Closer Connections enables the SPRONG group DIGIREAL to strengthen its visibility and reputation on a European level to build strong alliances with European VR/AR coalitions and associations and apply for EU grants. In this project, a strategic paper on market assessment is developed to determine our position within this European agenda. This is followed by a roadmap for the future utilisation of our rare assets (XR-stage, photogrammetry, etc.), and raise awareness of the unique combination of excellent facilities, creative staff and talented students.
Despite Dutch Hospitality industry’s significant economic value, employers struggle to attract and retain early career professionals at a time when tourism is forecasted to grow exponentially (Ruël, 2018). Universally, hospitality management graduates are shunning hospitality careers preferring other career paths; stimulating the Dutch Hospitality to find innovative ways of attracting and retaining early career professionals. Following calls from the Human Resource Management (HRM) community (Ehnert, 2009), we attribute this trend to personnel being depicted as rentable resources, driving profit’’ often at personal expense. For example, hotels primarily employ immigrants and students for a minimum wage suppressing salaries of local talent (Kusluvan, et al 2010, O’Relly and Pfeffer, 2010). Similarly, flattening organizational structures have eliminated management positions, placing responsibility on inexperienced shoulders, with vacancies commonly filled by pressured employees accepting unpaid overtime jeopardizing their work life balance (Davidson, et al 2010,). These HRM practices fuel attrition by exposing early career professionals to burnout (Baum et al, 2016, Goh et al, 2015, Deery and Jog, 2009). Collectively this has eroded the industry’s employer brand, now characterized by unsocial working hours, poor compensation, limited career opportunities, low professional standing, high turnover and substance abuse (Mooney et al, 2016, Gehrels and de Looij, 2011). In contrast, Sustainable HRM “enables an organizational goal achievement while simultaneously reproducing the human resource base over a long-lasting calendar time (Ehnert, 2009, p. 74).” Hence, to overcome this barrier we suggest embracing the ROC framework (Prins et al, 2014), which (R)espects internal stakeholders, embraces an (O)pen HRM approach while ensuring (C)ontinuity of economic and societal sustainability which could overcome this barrier. Accordingly, we will employ field research, narrative discourse, survey analysis and quarterly workshops with industry partners, employees, union representatives, hotel school students to develop sustainable HRM practices attracting and retaining career professionals to pursue Dutch hospitality careers.
Last year, in the aftermath of the pandemic, Effenaar invited sixteen musicians to explore the hybrid world during the first edition of Hybrid Music Vibes - made possible by Innovation Lab (an arrangement of Creative Industries Fund NL and ClickNL) and Stichting Cultuur Eindhoven. In this first edition, talent from the region could learn about the use of new technologies, experiment with various techniques, and the artists were also given the opportunity to realize their own concept. With the aim of providing the artist with new possibilities for expression, and thus the creation of a new relationship with the public, and thus possible revenue models. The program consists of four meetings, each of which starts with a knowledge session followed by a workshop. In the knowledge session, leading speakers (including Raynor de Groot and Tim van der Zalm) will inform the participating artists about the opportunities offered by the use of new technologies, for example in relation to 'fan engagement'. In the workshop, the artists are then challenged to apply this in their own work, working towards a concept. After the program has ended, the artists will pitch this concept and a number of artists will be selected together with the program partners and the public to realize their concept.Societal issueMusic inclusion.
