Team
Society Based Education is an enthusiastic and self-organising team. To the outside world, we act with curiosity, expertise and are people-oriented. We have theoretical and experiential expertise about the role of knowledge broker (collaboration between educational institute and social partners), designing and activating, authentic & socially relevant student projects and optimally guiding the learning process in these rich learning environments. In these learning environments, students work together with social partners to find sustainable solutions. The team members have different disciplinary knowledge, so we can offer support to all WU courses.
