Leerlingen voelen zich in digitale omgevingen vaak meer ontspannen om zich in de doeltaal te uiten. Om die reden is het project Doeltaal Digitaal gestart, waarbij leerlingen van alle niveaus (vmbo, havo, vwo) online betekenisvolle taaltaken uitvoeren via video- en audiogesprekken en geschreven chat.

Studenten opleiden tot professionals die kunnen leven en werken in de huidige complexe en diverse samenleving. Kunnen acteren met mensen van verschillende achtergronden en de verhoudingen in de wereld kennen. Wereldburgers opleiden die zelfbewust zijn en met een kritische en empathische blik naar de wereld om hen heen kijken. Zodat ze na hun opleiding professionals zijn die begrijpen dat onderwerpen door henzelf en anderen vanuit verschillende invalshoeken kunnen worden aangevlogen. En in staat zijn om oplossingen te vinden voor ingewikkelde vraagstukken. Dat is een leven lang leren! Aan die ontwikkeling draag jij als onderwijsprofessional, op jouw manier, bij. Maar, dat vraagt ook van jou om steeds meer te acteren op het snijvlak van de interne leeromgeving van school en een externe (leer)omgeving, waarbij het cocreëren met verschillende stakeholders steeds belangrijker wordt voor het slim vormgeven van leerprocessen. De afgelopen periode onderschrijft des te meer dat we in een sneltreinvaart toe bewegen naar het ‘nieuwe normaal’, waarbij van ons wordt verwacht om anders te werken én te denken. Ingesleten denk- en werkpatronen volstaan niet meer in onze internationale samenleving die steeds complexer en onvoorspelbaarder wordt. Je ontkomt pas aan die patronen door opnieuw te gaan denken, te leren afstand nemen van vooropgestelde ideeën over wat er zou moeten zijn en ontstane situaties als kansen voor ontwikkeling te zien. Juist in deze tijd is flexibilisering van het onderwijs en cocreatie hard nodig om bij te dragen aan het ‘nieuwe normaal’. Design Thinking is een gedachtegoed, aanpak en onderwijsmethodiek die hierbij kan helpen. Het is een manier om vanuit een mens-perspectief te kunnen vernieuwen. In deze Design Thinking ‘proeverij’ hebben we gepoogd onze ervaringen met Design Thinking in living labs voor business en management studenten te bundelen met ervaringen van anderen en theorie. Daarvoor hebben we ervaringen van andere hogeschooldocenten die Design Thinking reeds toepas sen in hun onderwijsomgevingen en een praktische vertaling van de theorie over Design Thinking & Doing gebruikt. Met als doel dat jij voor jezelf kunt gaan ontdekken of Design Thinking (& Doing) iets is voor jou, en voor jouw studenten. Wie weet, misschien ontdek je zelfs dat je al een onbewust, bekwame Design Thinker bent.

Educational programs teaching entrepreneurial behaviour and knowledge are crucial to a vital and healthy economy. The concept of building a Communities of Practice (CoP) could be very promising. CoP’s are formed by people who engage in a process of collective learning in a shared domain of human endeavour (Wenger, McDermott and Snyder, 2002). They consist of a group of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly. Normally CoP’s are rather homogeneous. Saxion institute Small Business & Retail Management (SB&RM) started a CoP with entrepreneurs September 2007. Typical in the this community, are the differences between the partners. The Community consists of students, entrepreneurs and members of an institution for higher education. They have different characteristics and they don’t share the same knowledge. Thus, building long-lasting relations can be complicated. Solid relations for longer periods are nevertheless inevitable in using CoP as a mean in an educational concept that takes approximately 4 years. After one year an evaluation took place on the main aspects of a lasting partnership. The central problem SB&RM in Deventer faces is to design the CoP in a way possible members will join and stay for a longer period and in a way it ensures entrepreneurial learning. This means important design characteristics have to be identified, and the CoP in Deventer has to be evaluated to assess whether it meets those design characteristics in an effective and efficient way. The main target of the evaluation is to determine which key factors are important to make sure continuity in partnership is assured and entrepreneurial learning is best supported. To solve the problem, an investigation on how a CoP works, what group dynamics take place, and how this can be measured has to be conducted. Furthermoreusing the CoP as a tool for entrepreneurship means key aspects of entrepreneurial learning have to be identified. After that the CoP in Deventer has to be examined on both aspects. According to literature CoP’s define themselves along three dimensions: domain (indicating what is it about), community (defining how it functions), and practice (indicating what capabilities it has produced) (Wenger, 1998). This leads to meaningful, shared and coordinated activities (Akkerman et al, 2007): Key aspects of a successful CoP lie in both hard and soft sides of creating a partnership. It means on one hand a CoP has to deal with defining their own overall vision, formulating long term goals and targets on the short term. They have to formulate how to achieve those targets and create meaningful activities (reification). On the other hand a CoP has to deal with relations, trust, norms and values (participation). Reification and participation as design characteristic can provide indicators on which the CoP in Deventer can be evaluated. A lasting partnership means joining the CoP and staying. Weick provides us with a suitable model that enables us to do research and evaluate whether the CoP in Deventer is successful or not, Weick’s model of means convergence. To effectively ensure entrepreneurial learning the process in the CoP has to provide or enable actionoriented forms through Project-based activity, accompanied by reflection, with high emotional exposure (or cognitive affection) preferably caused by discontinuities to be suitable as a tool in entrepreneurial learning. Furthermore it should be accompanied by the right preconditions to work effectively and efficiently. The evaluation of the present CoP in Deventer is done by interviewing all participants at the end of the first year of the partnership. In a structured interview, based on literature studies, all participants were separately questioned

The HAS professorship Future Food Systems is performing applied research with students and external partners to transform our food system towards a more sustainable state. In this research it is not only a question of what is needed to achieve this, but also how and with whom. The governance of our food system needs rethinking to get the transformative momentum going in a democratic and constructive manner. Building on the professorship’s research agenda and involvement in the transdisciplinary NWA research project, the postdoc will explore collective ownership and inclusive participation as two key governance concepts for food system transformation. This will be done in a participatory manner, by learning from and with innovative bottom-up initiatives and practitioners from the field. By doing so, the postdoc will gain valuable practical insights that can aid to new approaches and (policy) interventions which foster a sustainable and just food system in the Netherlands and beyond. A strong connection between research and education is created via the active research involvement of students from different study programs, supervised by the postdoc (Dr. B. van Helvoirt). The acquired knowledge is embedded in education by the postdoc by incorporating it into HAS study program curricula and courses. In addition, it will contribute to the further professional development of qualitative research skills among HAS students and staff. Through scientific, policy and popular publications, participation in (inter)national conferences and meetings with experts and practitioners, the exposure and network of the postdoc and HAS in the field of food systems and governance will be expanded. This will allow for the setting up of a continuous research effort on this topic within the professorship via follow-up research with knowledge institutes, civic society groups and partners from the professional field.
The Hanze Hogeschool Groningen, the Authoridad Nacional del Agua, and Waterschap Noorderzijlvest, together with several other Dutch and Peruvian universities, co-organise an annual ClimateCafé in the northern Peruvian areas Piura and Tumbes, as part of the Blue Deal project. The ClimateCafé methodology is a multiple-day participatory workshop composed by an international community and powered by individual, corporate, public, and academic climate change adaptation influencers. The aim is to educate and inspire tech and non-tech people, focusing on young professionals in a “learning by doing” interaction.
