Deze handreiking biedt docenten die leergemeenschappen begeleiden (of andere professionals die deze rol vervullen) praktische tools en werkvormen die zij, afhankelijk van de fase waarin de leergemeenschap zich bevindt, kunnen inzetten.De handreiking is beschikbaar gemaakt voor Hanze-medewerkers op https://mijn.hanze.nl/programmaprojectonderzoek/50250877

Het doen van co-design en co-research samen met de mensen in het betreffende maatschappelijk domein kan veel beweging in gang zetten. Het is zaak om ook juist deze functie van applied design research als ‘key enabling methodology’ verder te ontwikkelen, evenals een repertoire van cases te verzamelen om uit te kunnen putten.

Based on his personal experience, the author aims to examine some of the key competencies that he considers essential for facilitators of group activities in arts-based environmental education (AEE). In this, participants are encouraged to enhance their sensibility to the environment through artistic approaches. A case in point is a workshop called “making a little me”. Its participants sculpt – while keeping their eyes closed – a clay version of their own seated body in miniature. When guiding such a workshop, it is of critical importance, according to the author, to encourage the participants to suspend their judgments on the art works of others. The facilitator should make every effort to provide a safe environment by practicing “holding space”.

Teachers have a crucial role in bringing about the extensive social changes that are needed in the building of a sustainable future. In the EduSTA project, we focus on sustainability competences of teachers. We strengthen the European dimension of teacher education via Digital Open Badges as means of performing, acknowledging, documenting, and transferring the competencies as micro-credentials. EduSTA starts by mapping the contextual possibilities and restrictions for transformative learning on sustainability and by operationalising skills. The development of competence-based learning modules and open digital badge-driven pathways will proceed hand in hand and will be realised as learning modules in the partnering Higher Education Institutes and badge applications open for all teachers in Europe.Societal Issue: Teachers’ capabilities to act as active facilitators of change in the ecological transition and to educate citizens and workforce to meet the future challenges is key to a profound transformation in the green transition.Teachers’ sustainability competences have been researched widely, but a gap remains between research and the teachers’ practise. There is a need to operationalise sustainability competences: to describe direct links with everyday tasks, such as curriculum development, pedagogical design, and assessment. This need calls for an urgent operationalisation of educators’ sustainability competences – to support the goals with sustainability actions and to transfer this understanding to their students.Benefit to society: EduSTA builds a community, “Academy of Educators for Sustainable Future”, and creates open digital badge-driven learning pathways for teachers’ sustainability competences supported by multimodal learning modules. The aim is to achieve close cooperation with training schools to actively engage in-service teachers.Our consortium is a catalyst for leading and empowering profound change in the present and for the future to educate teachers ready to meet the challenges and act as active change agents for sustainable future. Emphasizing teachers’ essential role as a part of the green transition also adds to the attractiveness of teachers’ work.
Dubbele vergrijzing en toenemende druk op de zorg maken de vraag om toekomstgerichte, toepasbare en werkende oplossingen op het gebied van gezondheid, zorg en welzijn steeds urgenter. Een gedeeltelijke verschuiving van de zorg voor mensen (met dementie) van de formele zorg naar het informele netwerk in de wijk is noodzakelijk. Woonzorgcentra worden meer onderdeel van de wijk met beleid dat gericht is op ‘leven in vrijheid en veiligheid’ in een inclusieve, dementievriendelijke, samenleving. Dat betekent dat wijken daarop moeten worden toegerust Dit speelt ook bij zorgorganisatie Treant. Zij wil samenwerken met de wijk en meebewegen met de kracht en mogelijkheden die de gemeenschap biedt. In het project staat de volgende vraag centraal: ‘Op welke manier kunnen innovatieve sociaal-ruimtelijke interventies bijdragen aan toegankelijkheid en ‘social guiding’ als facilitator van laagdrempelige informele ontmoetingen in het belang van een inclusieve wijk waarin ouderen (met dementie) veilig en in vrijheid kunnen wonen?’ Er wordt gebouwd aan een gezamenlijke basis voor het verandertraject, door vanaf de start samen te werken met professionals en bewoners in de wijk en in het zorgcentrum. Om zo met elkaar toe te groeien naar een inclusieve wijk en dit te verankeren in bestaande waarden van de wijk en de organisaties die daarbinnen actief zijn.
The Dutch Environmental Vision and Mobility Vision 2050 promote climate-neutral urban growth around public transport stations, envisioning them as vibrant hubs for mobility, community, and economy. However, redevelopment often increases construction, a major CO₂ contributor. Dutch practice-led projects like 'Carbon Based Urbanism', 'MooiNL - Practical guide to urban node development', and 'Paris Proof Stations' explore integrating spatial and environmental requirements through design. Design Professionals seek collaborative methods and tools to better understand how can carbon knowledge and skills be effectively integrated into station area development projects, in architecture and urban design approaches. Redeveloping mobility hubs requires multi-stakeholder negotiations involving city planners, developers, and railway managers. Designers act as facilitators of the process, enabling urban and decarbonization transitions. CARB-HUB explores how co-creation methods can help spatial design processes balance mobility, attractiveness, and carbon neutrality across multiple stakeholders. The key outputs are: 1- Serious Game for Co-Creation, which introduces an assessment method for evaluating the potential of station locations, referred to as the 4P value framework. 2-Design Toolkit for Decarbonization, featuring a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to guide sustainable development. 3- Research Bid for the DUT–Driving Urban Transitions Program, focusing on the 15-minute City Transition Pathway. 4- Collaborative Network dedicated to promoting a low-carbon design approach. The 4P value framework offers a comprehensive method for assessing the redevelopment potential of station areas, focusing on four key dimensions: People, which considers user experience and accessibility; Position, which examines the station's role within the broader transport network; Place-making, which looks at how well the station integrates into its surrounding urban environment; and Planet, which addresses decarbonization and climate adaptation. CARB-HUB uses real cases of Dutch stations in transition as testbeds. By translating abstract environmental goals into tangible spatial solutions, CARB-HUB enables scenario-based planning, engaging designers, policymakers, infrastructure managers, and environmental advocates.
