Keynote Helma Oolbekkink

Helma Oolbekkink zoomed in on how identity development is seen as an important component of professional training. On the one hand, to be able to steer your work and your own development from that professional identity and, on the other, to be able to stand firm when big questions and challenges come up and you have to be 'adaptive' as a professional. Helma explored what professional identity (development) is, how to make space for professional identity development in the training/workplace and what this requires from trainers.

Keynote Marjolein van de Pol

In her keynote, an abridged version of her oration, Marjolein van de Pol focused on students' feelings of stress and psychological complaints and how a student's development and well-being is under pressure. This affects not only how they feel, but also their ability to develop in an enjoyable way. The impact of performance pressure and adapting the learning environment have a lot of impact on young people's well-being. During the keynote, she gave insights on how to sustainably improve student wellbeing.
