In this publication we share a conceptual and structural approach called “The Value Flower Impact Method,” which can be adopted and adapted by teachers and educational developers who want to incorporate (elements of) impact-driven education in their practice. It aims to inspire by providing both a practical and theoretical foundation to develop engaged and meaningful education. It consists of 7 steps that can be used as scaffolding for students while they engage with societal partners and research their specific contexts in a holistic way. It continues to support students in designing and evaluating an intervention that aims to make an impact. The seven steps are:
- Identifying personal and team values and objectives
- Learning about the context: master classes set the scene
- Defining urgencies and ambitions
- Engaging stakeholders
- Developing alternative future scenarios
- Designing an intervention
- Evaluating impact
