Deze visualisatie is het resultaat van een kwalitatief onderzoek waarin het empathie kompas (Smeenk, 2019) gebruikt is om te onderzoeken en visualiseren hoe studenten van verschillende hogescholen begrip ontwikkelden voor het maatschappelijk vraagstuk rondom synthetische drugs gedurende hun deelname aan het project ‘Pilletje hier, Pilletje daar’. Met dit project wil het Openbaar Ministerie (OMspaces) bij jongeren bewustwording genereren en het gesprek aangaan rond het vraagstuk. Het empathie kompas kan studenten en docenten helpen meer begrip te ontwikkelen voor de stakeholders in een complex vraagstuk. Deze visualisatie is gebaseerd op interviews voor, tijdens en na het project en maakt zichtbaar welke impact meedoen aan dit project heeft op de empathie ontwikkeling van de studenten en hoe zij zich bewegen door de perspectieven op het empathie kompas. Naast resultaten bevat de visualisatie ook aanbevelingen voor iedereen die aan de slag wil met empathische vorming.

The Dutch conservation area Oostvaardersplassen was initiated as a rewilding project within the Netherlands’ protected area network. It came under the spotlight when management strategies and practices were criticized by scientists, conservation practitioners, and the public, from a number of perspectives – not all of which were compatible. This article reviews the origin, evolution, and application of the rewilding concept and examines the Oostvaardersplassen project as a case study. Our assessment demonstrates that the area was never an appropriate site for rewilding, beset by rudderless management, and led to a situation that was ecologically and ethically untenable. The case study is used to illustrate humanity’s evolving role in environmental protection where advances in the understanding of ecological complexity, animal behavior, and sentience, cannot be ignored when addressing environmental protection, problem solving, and management. Finally, it lays out options for the future in the absence of the three Cs of rewilding, the Cores, Corridors, Carnivores, and introduces the concept of the fourth C, Compassion. https://ijw.org/learning-to-rewild/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/helenkopnina/

Social and Emotional Learning programs, designed to enhance adolescents’ social and emotional skills, are implemented in schools worldwide. One of these programs is Skills4Life (S4L), for students in Dutch secondary education. To strengthen this program and adapt it to students’ needs, we conducted an exploratory study on their perspectives on their own social-emotional development, focusing on low-achieving students in prevocational education. We interviewed eleven boys and eleven girls in five focus groups on (1) their general school life experiences, (2) their perceptions and experiences regarding interactions with peers, the problems they encountered in these interactions, and (3) the strategies and skills they used to solve these problems. Driven by findings in related studies initial thematic analyzes were extended using a three-step approach: an inductive, data-driven process of open coding; axial coding; and selective coding, using the social-emotional skills comprised in an often-used SEL framework as sensitizing concepts. Overall, students were satisfied with their relationships with classmates and teachers and their ability to manage their daily interaction struggles. Their reflections on their interactions indicate that the skills they preferred to use mirror the social-emotional skills taught in many school programs. However, they also indicated that they did not apply these skills in situations they experienced as unsafe and uncontrollable, e.g., bullying and harassment. The insights into adolescents’ social-emotional skills perceptions and the problems they encountered with peers at school presented here can contribute to customizing school-based skills enhancement programs to their needs. Teacher training is required to help teachers gain insight into students’ perspectives and to use this insight to implement SEL programs tailored to their needs.
