Day 1: Impact-Driven Education - Monday 14 October
The focus on the 14th will be on impact-driven education. Join us from 11:30 at the Paviljoen for the first part of the programme. At 15:00 we will take the city by storm in a fun and educative tour, finishing at 16:00. This event represents the journey our impact-driven community has taken in the last four years.
At EUR, parties like Impact at the Core and the faculties have worked tirelessly on developing impact-driven education. Now it’s time to celebrate our collective achievements and to transition together to the next phase of impact-driven education. During this day we will showcase our work and tools like the learning landscape, and we will take you along in the learnings and dilemma’s surrounding the development of impact-driven education.
