For whom?
This Honours Lab is for BA2, BA3, pre-Master’s students.
What are you going to do?
A small farm in the Netherlands is trying to make a difference. They want to educate about sustainability, bridge the gap between city and farmland, and be inspired themselves to make even more changes for the better. And they want you to help them.
In this Honourslab, you will develop an education program for teenagers about climate change and farms. The goal is for the program to be creative, inspiring and a lived experience, using the farmland and landscape around it.
To develop the program you will have regular meeting with teachers in training, the client and your guides. In the meetings, we will use creative processes and the design thinking cycle as means to develop the education program. Moreover, you will be paired with a teacher in training. This way, you can gain experience in secondary education, which you can use to further develop the education program. There will be time for your personal development through guest lectures and reflective moments.
Students from all faculties are welcome, because we need an interdisciplinary team.
