The Sport Empowers Disabled Youth 2 (SEDY2) project encourages inclusion and equal opportunities in sport for youth with a disability by raising their sports and exercise participation in inclusive settings. The SEDY2 Inclusion Handbook is aimed at anybody involved in running or working in a sport club, such as a volunteer, a coach, or a club member. The goal of the handbook is to facilitate disability inclusion among mainstream sport providers by sharing SEDY2 project partners’ best practices and inclusive ideas.
In 2020 heeft het SIA Lectorenplatform Sport en Bewegen in opdrachtvan Topteam Sport gewerkt aan de ontwikkeling van een praktijkgerichtekennis- en innovatieagenda op het gebied van sport en bewegen.Doel van het opstellen van deze kennis- en innovatieagenda is om thema’ste identificeren die bij kunnen dragen aan het oplossen van de maatschappelijke uitdagingen waar we mee te maken hebben. Voorbeelden daarvanzijn de stijgende bewegingsarmoede en zorgkosten onder diverse bevolkingsgroepen, de stijgende gezondheidsverschillen tussen mensen met een hogeen lage opleiding en de toenemende segregatie tussen bevolkingsgroepen.De praktijkgerichte kennis- en innovatieagenda draagt bij aan het oplossenvan de handelingsverlegenheid van sport- en beweegprofessionals bij dezeuitdagingen en het professionaliseren en innoveren van de beroepspraktijk.
Bij Sport en Bewegen leven verschillende vragen rondom studiesucces. Een van de vragen die de opleiding heeft is gericht op de werking van drempels en de mogelijke invloed daarvan op het aantal langstudeerders. Sport en Bewegen geeft aan dat het lukt om langstudeerders te laten uitstromen, maar doordat er nieuwe langstudeerders bij blijven komen, de totale groep niet afneemt. Een factor die op de instroom van langstudeerders van invloed zou kunnen zijn is de aanwezigheid van drempels in het curriculum. Binnen het programma van Sport en Bewegen zijn er verschillende drempels in het curriculum ingebouwd. Ten eerste zijn er bepaalde eisen waaraan studenten moeten voldoen voordat zij aan de stage in het 3e jaar mogen beginnen. De opleiding biedt de studenten die nog niet met hun stage mogen beginnen de optie om alvast de vakken te volgen die ze anders ná de stage zouden krijgen. Deze vakken worden twee keer in het jaar aangeboden. Een andere optie is dat studenten het 2e jaar opnieuw doen. Door deze twee opties aan te bieden kunnen studenten die nog niet aan hun stage mogen beginnen hun achterstand wegwerken, actief met de studie bezig blijven en blijven ze in contact met de opleiding en klasgenoten
Client: Foundation Innovation Alliance (SIA - Stichting Innovatie Alliantie) with funding from the ministry of Education, Culture and Science (OCW) Funder: RAAK (Regional Attention and Action for Knowledge circulation) The RAAK scheme is managed by the Foundation Innovation Alliance (SIA - Stichting Innovatie Alliantie) with funding from the ministry of Education, Culture and Science (OCW). Early 2013 the Centre for Sustainable Tourism and Transport started work on the RAAK-MKB project ‘Carbon management for tour operators’ (CARMATOP). Besides NHTV, eleven Dutch SME tour operators, ANVR, HZ University of Applied Sciences, Climate Neutral Group and ECEAT initially joined this 2-year project. The consortium was later extended with IT-partner iBuildings and five more tour operators. The project goal of CARMATOP was to develop and test new knowledge about the measurement of tour package carbon footprints and translate this into a simple application which allows tour operators to integrate carbon management into their daily operations. By doing this Dutch tour operators are international frontrunners.Why address the carbon footprint of tour packages?Global tourism contribution to man-made CO2 emissions is around 5%, and all scenarios point towards rapid growth of tourism emissions, whereas a reverse development is required in order to prevent climate change exceeding ‘acceptable’ boundaries. Tour packages have a high long-haul and aviation content, and the increase of this type of travel is a major factor in tourism emission growth. Dutch tour operators recognise their responsibility, and feel the need to engage in carbon management.What is Carbon management?Carbon management is the strategic management of emissions in one’s business. This is becoming more important for businesses, also in tourism, because of several economical, societal and political developments. For tour operators some of the most important factors asking for action are increasing energy costs, international aviation policy, pressure from society to become greener, increasing demand for green trips, and the wish to obtain a green image and become a frontrunner among consumers and colleagues in doing so.NetworkProject management was in the hands of the Centre for Sustainable Tourism and Transport (CSTT) of NHTV Breda University of Applied Sciences. CSTT has 10 years’ experience in measuring tourism emissions and developing strategies to mitigate emissions, and enjoys an international reputation in this field. The ICT Associate Professorship of HZ University of Applied Sciences has longstanding expertise in linking varying databases of different organisations. Its key role in CARMATOP was to create the semantic wiki for the carbon calculator, which links touroperator input with all necessary databases on carbon emissions. Web developer ibuildings created the Graphical User Interface; the front end of the semantic wiki. ANVR, the Dutch Association of Travel Agents and Tour operators, represents 180 tour operators and 1500 retail agencies in the Netherlands, and requires all its members to meet a minimum of sustainable practices through a number of criteria. ANVR’s role was in dissemination, networking and ensuring CARMATOP products will last. Climate Neutral Group’s experience with sustainable entrepreneurship and knowledge about carbon footprint (mitigation), and ECEAT’s broad sustainable tourism network, provided further essential inputs for CARMATOP. Finally, most of the eleven tour operators are sustainable tourism frontrunners in the Netherlands, and are the driving forces behind this project.
PBL is the initiator of the Work Programme Monitoring and Management Circular Economy 2019-2023, a collaboration between CBS, CML, CPB, RIVM, TNO, UU. Holidays and mobility are part of the consumption domains that PBL researches, and this project aims to calculate the environmental gains per person per year of the various circular behavioural options for both holiday behaviour and daily mobility. For both behaviours, a range of typical (default) trips are defined and for each several circular option explored for CO2 emissions, Global warming potential and land use. The holiday part is supplied by the Centre for Sustainability, Tourism and Transport (CSTT) of the BUas Academy of Tourism (AfT). The mobility part is carried out by the Urban Intelligence professorship of the Academy for Built Environment and Logistics (ABEL).The research question is “what is the environmental impact of various circular (behavioural) options around 1) holidays and 2) passenger mobility?” The consumer perspective is demarcated as follows:For holidays, transportation and accommodation are included, but not food, attractions visited and holiday activitiesFor mobility, it concerns only the circular options of passenger transport and private means of transport (i.e. freight transport, business travel and commuting are excluded). Not only some typical trips will be evaluated, but also the possession of a car and its alternatives.For the calculations, we make use of public databases, our own models and the EAP (Environmental Analysis Program) model developed by the University of Groningen. BUAs projectmembers: Centre for Sustainability, Tourism and Transport (AT), Urban Intelligence (ABEL).
Het project is een verkenning naar de potentie van een applicatie die dynamisch de CO2 footprint van de lading berekent op basis van de daadwerkelijk gereden kilometers. De eerste versie van deze applicatie (de zogenoemde Transport Transparant app) is door de Universiteit van Lund in Zweden ontwikkeld op basis van blockchain technologie. De app is daar succesvol getest en wordt nu verder doorontwikkeld. De huidige versie van de app is gekoppeld aan het in Zweden bekende transport management systeem Unifaun. Dit project verkent of en onder welke voorwaarden het in Nederland haalbaar en relevant is om deze applicatie te implementeren.
