Ervaringen met racisme kunnen subtiel doorwerken in de leerstrategieën, motivaties en werkervaringen van zowel studenten als medewerkers, wat hun kansen op succes in het hoger onderwijs kan beïnvloeden (Nieto, 2004). Bewustzijn hierover is cruciaal om een inclusieve, gelijkwaardige en effectieve onderwijsomgeving te creëren. Een open gesprek kan bijdragen aan het vergroten van dit bewustzijn. Ons uitgangspunt is dat onderwijsprofessionals middels een groepsgesprek kunnen deelnemen aan een betekenisvolle uitwisseling waarin zij de aanpak van uitsluiting en ongelijkheid in verband leren brengen met hun pedagogische verantwoordelijkheid. Maar er is weinig bekend over de randvoorwaarden voor dergelijke gespreksvoering. In dit actieonderzoek staat daarom de volgende vraag centraal: Hoe voer je een eerste, gezamenlijk groepsgesprek over racisme, macht en privilege met professionals?

The municipality of Amsterdam wants to have an emission free taxi sector by 2025. In order to reach that goal, the city has taken a number of measures which favour clean taxis above conventional taxis. One of these measures is an innovative priority privilege scheme at the Amsterdam Central Station taxi stand, which should lead to shorter waiting times and more trips for clean taxis. The municipality wants to know if the measure is effective. In this study, we present an analysis of visiting behaviour of clean and regular (diesel) taxis in order to assess the effectiveness of the privilege scheme to attract more clean taxis. As such it aims to contribute to a better understanding of the effect of the priority measure at the Amsterdam Central Station and to provide input for policy makers to introduce incentive schemes to stimulate clean taxis in cities. Analysed data covers a timespan from one year, starting October 2015 when the privilege scheme started with a call rate of 1 clean taxi to each 4 taxis called for a ride. The analysis shows the number of arriving clean taxis to shift from 1:6 to 1:4 during the observation period. Based on this analysis the municipality decided to modify the preference ratio beginning 2017. This study contributes to a better understanding of the effect of the privilege measures and provides input for policy makers introducing incentives to stimulate clean taxis in cities.

The city of Amsterdam wants to have an emission free taxi sector by 2025. In order to reach that goal, the city has taken a number of measures which favour clean taxis above conventional taxis. In 2017, as part of this policy, the city of Amsterdam decided to allow only clean taxis at the Leidseplein taxi stand, one of the busiest taxi stands in the city. This taxi stand is characterized by large numbers of passengers within very short periods at social evenings and nights on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. The municipality wanted to know if the number of clean taxis in Amsterdam would be sufficient to handle these high peaks of passengers.In this study, Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (AUAS) presents a monitoring tool that was developed to follow the visiting behaviour of clean (electric and green gas vehicles) and regular (diesel) taxis at the Leidseplein taxi stand. The tool served as a basis for the municipality to evaluate the feasibility of making this taxi stand completely clean. As such this tool aims to contribute to a better understanding of the effect of this privilege measure and to provide input for policy makers to introduce privilege schemes to stimulate clean taxis in cities.
