education for social change
Bridging the gap
We developed an educational framework, called Experimental Pedagogics, which embodies a multidimensional vision on how education could help to address real, complex, societal challenges. The program combines the latest advances in educational sciences with a broad sweep of education philosophy and history, offering a trans-disciplinary approach to education. This informs the two initiatives under this project.
For students: Education for Social Change Minor
This minor challenges students to become educational innovators and make a real difference in the world. Not only do students learn about teaching and learning from different angles, perspectives, and disciplines, but they are also able to collaborate and learn with students from a diverse range of backgrounds and to apply their own knowledge to develop education intervention for the local communities.
For Educational Staff: Inclusive Education Program
In the summer school, we are introducing the framework around experimental pedagogics to teachers across the Netherlands and beyond. We are giving teachers the tools to help their students create education innovation that can expand across all kinds of settings at all different levels. Teachers will come out of the Summer School with a real plan that can be implemented right away.
