Theatervoorstelling ‘Angry Young Men’ is een hip-hop voorstelling van theaterorganisatie WAT WE DOEN. De voorstelling vertelt het verhaal van twee jongens die opgroeien in een wereld waarin ze hun plek niet kunnen vinden. Die op straat hangen. Ze dromen van geld en aanzien, als het moet via de criminaliteit. Aan de hand van gesprekken (een combinatie van rap en spel) met hun moeders en verschillende professionals (docenten, jongerenwerkers, therapeuten, wetenschappers en politieagenten) kijkt het publiek terug op de levens van de jongens: de ene jongen komt om het leven bij een schietpartij. De andere jongen zit vast voor diezelfde schietpartij. Dader en slachtoffer. Ze proberen uit vinden of hun levens anders hadden kunnen lopen. En wie had het dan anders moeten doen?

The daily lives of young professionals can be thought of as a balancing act, as they struggle with juggling their different work and nonwork roles (Allen et al., 2019). Young professionals do not only invest a considerable amount of time and energy resources in starting their careers, but also in building up a family life. As such, many want to succeed as hard-working, devoted professionals (i.e., the ‘ideal worker’), as well as become, or come across as, involved and nurturing parents (i.e., the ‘ideal parent’) (Ladge & Little, 2018). In addition, young professionals tend to increasingly experience that they need to live up to perceived expectations coming from social network sites on how to showcase oneself in the most perfect way (i.e., the media ‘ideal’) (Shah & Tewari, 2016). Accordingly, young professionals may (re)construct ‘ideal’ images of themselves in the work, private, and online domains which lean towards these ideal selves and away from their undesired selves (Leary & Kowalski, 1990). In the context of the Conservation of Resources (COR) theory (Hobfoll & Wells, 1998), such an image (re)construction process (Dumas & Sanchez-Burks, 2015; Humberd et al., 2015; Roberts, 2005) may play a critical role in the attainment of relevant personal resources, such as pride, status and liking, on the one hand, and the loss of resources (i.e., energy resources), on the other hand.

There is a lack of service provision for young adult caregivers (18-25 years of age). This study aims to describe the expectations and prospects of young adult caregivers regarding support from health and education professionals. A qualitative focus group design was used. Twenty-five young Dutch adults (aged 18-25 years) who were growing up with a chronically ill family member participated in one of seven focus groups. Qualitative inductive analysis was used to identify codes and main themes. Two overarching themes with five sub-themes emerged from the focus group discussions. The overarching themes are: the 'process of approaching young adults' and the 'types of support these young adults require'. The process of approaching young adults contains the sub-themes: 'recognition, attention, and listening', 'open-minded attitude', 'reliability', and 'respecting autonomy'. The types of support this group requires contains the sub-themes: 'information and emotional support'. Health and education professionals should first and foremost be aware and listen to young adult caregivers, pay attention to them, have an open-minded attitude, respect their autonomy, and have the knowledge to provide them with information and emotional support. Further research could yield comprehensive insights into how professionals can meet these requirements and whether these results apply to male young adult caregivers and young adult caregivers not enrolled in a healthcare-related study program.

Adaptieve expertise en flexibiliteit zijn belangrijke competenties. Professionals zullen moeten meebewegen met veranderende werkomstandigheden en in staat zijn om die veranderingen vorm te geven. Dit (ontwerp)onderzoek vindt plaats in innovatieve leerwerkomgevingen in bachelor- en masteropleidingen en beschrijft en verklaart de werking van deze innovaties m.b.t. de ontwikkeling van adaptieve expertise.Doel Adaptatwork wil inzicht geven in werkzame mechanismes in en praktische tools ontwerpen voor de ontwikkeling van adaptieve expertise tijdens werkplekleren. Resultaten Wetenschappelijke kennis over de ontwikkeling van adaptieve expertise in hoger onderwijs Praktijkkennis en expertise voor het hoger onderwijs Toepasbare producten voor docenten en stakeholders Looptijd 01 juli 2020 - 31 december 2023 Aanpak Reviews naar adaptieve expertise en mechanismes die dat bevorderen, casestudies, meta-analyse en valorisatie. Wonen 3.0 Het project Wonen 3.0 dient als casus voor dit onderzoek. In deze leerwerkomgeving wordt praktisch onderzoek uitgevoerd op de vraagstukken van de maatschappij rondom het thema wonen in de setting van een modern leerwerkbedrijf. Bedrijven en instellingen, onderzoekers en studenten (als young professionals) ontwikkelen hierin samen nieuwe inzichten en werkende oplossingen. Het onderwijs is gebaseerd op challenge-based learning.
The European creative visual industry is undergoing rapid technological development, demanding solid initiatives to maintain a competitive position in the marketplace. AVENUE, a pan-European network of Centres of Vocational Excellence, addresses this need through a collaboration of five independent significant ecosystems, each with a smart specialisation. AVENUE will conduct qualified industry-relevant research to assess, analyse, and conclude on the immediate need for professional training and educational development. The primary objective of AVENUE is to present opportunities for immediate professional and vocational training, while innovating teaching and learning methods in formal education, to empower students and professionals in content creation, entrepreneurship, and innovation, while supporting sustainability and healthy working environments. AVENUE will result in a systematised upgrade of workforce to address the demand for new skills arising from rapid technological development. Additionally, it will transform the formal education within the five participating VETs, making them able to transition from traditional artistic education to delivering skills, mindsets and technological competencies demanded by a commercial market. AVENUE facilitates mobility, networking and introduces a wide range of training formats that enable effective training within and across the five ecosystems. A significant portion of the online training is Open Access, allowing professionals from across Europe to upgrade their skills in various processes and disciplines. The result of AVENUE will be a deep-rooted partnership between five strong ecosystems, collaborating to elevate the European industry. More than 2000 professionals, employees, students, and young talents will benefit from relevant and immediate upgrading of competencies and skills, ensuring that the five European ecosystems remain at the forefront of innovation and competitiveness in the creative visual industry.
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.
