From Insight to Action: AI & Sustainability
Time: 13:45-14:45
Language: Dutch
Room:
Speaker: Janine Koppert
How can we translate sustainable AI principles into concrete and measurable actions?
Based on insights from the AI & Sustainability exploration (Npuls) within Dutch higher and vocational education, this session focuses on developing practical perspectives for action and helping participants translate these into concrete steps.
In this interactive workshop, participants will work in small groups with a short, abstract principle, such as “We use AI in a sustainable way” or “Transparency about AI’s impact is the norm.” The challenge is to translate these principles into practical and applicable actions for educational practice.
Together, participants will explore how broad sustainability principles around AI can be turned into clear, actionable and assessable practices within their own educational context.
Climate Game: Breaking the Ice
Time: 13:45 – 14:45
Language: Dutch
Ruimte:
Speaker: Floor van der Wal
How can an abstract topic like climate change become concrete, understandable and relatable? In this Dutch version of Al Gore’s “Climate Reality Game”, participants take on the challenge of developing a realistic solution to a climate-related problem using exactly the resources they are given.
During the game, participants receive realistic Dutch case studies in which climate change plays a clear role. You start as a team of problem solvers and work together towards a solution that could genuinely make an impact.
Each participant or group receives a random set of tools connected to their case: from well-known Dutch figures such as Freek Vonk, to a limited budget, a field of poppies, laptops, train subscriptions, emergency responders and more.
The challenge is simple: create a realistic solution using only the resources you have been given. At the end of the game, each group presents its idea, followed by a “reality check.” Is the idea actually feasible? What could be improved? Which unexpected perspectives could strengthen the solution?
These playful constraints encourage participants to think beyond conventional solutions, become more creative and discover how diverse solutions can be, even when resources are limited. It helps participants realize that we can make a difference using the resources already available to us.
Potje IJs Breken was developed in collaboration with the Fontys professorship Designing Journalism and has been tested extensively at several locations, including multiple universities of applied sciences. The game is designed for anyone who wants to explore climate challenges in a playful and engaging way. Whether you are a student, policymaker, teacher or professional, the game challenges you to think and act differently.

Where Citizenship Takes Root: Designing Meaningful Education with the Greenfield Toolkit
Time: 13:45 – 14:45
Language: Dutch
Room:
Speaker: Marjan Nijenbanning
How can we design citizenship education in a way that makes it meaningful and action-oriented for students, by working with real-life contexts, shared responsibility and the Greenfield Toolkit?
In this interactive session, participants explore how citizenship education can be designed in a purposeful and coherent way, aligned with recent developments in the (renewed) citizenship framework. The central question is how citizenship can be embedded in everyday education so that students not only gain knowledge, but also develop agency, responsibility and societal engagement.
The session begins with a short experiential activity based on existing educational practices in which citizenship, sustainability and care for the living environment come together. This practice serves as a learning lab. Participants will then work with the Greenfield Toolkit, a design framework consisting of eight building blocks for meaningful learning. Using these building blocks, participants analyse how elements of citizenship are already implicitly present in education and where they can be strengthened.
In small, mixed groups (MBO/HBO/WO), participants design a concrete citizenship activity or intervention for their own educational context. The session is relevant for all levels of education, as it contributes to a shared language, greater coherence in curriculum development and practical tools for developing future-oriented citizenship education.
Co-creating Sustainability in Education across MBO-HBO-WO
Time: 13:45 – 14:45
Language: English
Room:
Speaker: Tommaso Mondovì , Serpil Meri Yilan
What is one sustainability challenge in your educational practice that you cannot solve alone?
Following a short introduction presenting our efforts, challenges and ambitions in integrating sustainability into education at TU/e, we invite participants to explore a shared challenge together. The central question is: if MBO, HBO and WO were intentionally connected, what could a sustainability learning pathway look like?
Together, we will first reflect on what sustainability means within different educational contexts. Participants will then identify one or more sustainability challenges that cannot be addressed within their own institutional “silos.”
Building on these insights, participants will collaboratively design a cross-level learning pathway for sustainability, connecting different educational formats and perspectives. The session aims not only to generate ideas, but also to create commitment among participants to continue exploring and developing new collaborative approaches beyond the session.
From Difficult Conversations to Meaningful Dialogue – Working on Inclusion in MBO
Time: 13.45 – 14.45
Language: Dutch
Room:
Speaker: Hans Panjoel
In this workshop, we will share findings, dilemmas and practical tips, invite you to experience several interactive methods, and learn from your insights and experiences.
What happens in society enters our MBO classrooms every day. Diversity enriches education, but it can also bring tensions. This calls for conscious, professionally facilitated dialogue with students, as well as between colleagues and within hierarchical conversations. For several years, the Professorship of Relational Practice (Practoraat Relationeel Werken) has been conducting research on diversity, inclusion and equality in MBO.
Our research explores how conversations about diversity, inclusion and equality can become a safe, meaningful and sustainable part of educational practice. Together with colleagues and students, we have developed five practical methods that help stimulate and guide these dialogues in the classroom and within educational teams.
The Green Thread: Getting Started with the Process Tool for Integrating Sustainability into Your Education
Time: 13.45 – 14.45
Language: Dutch
Room:
Speaker: Guido van Eijk , Fleur Hendriks , Nina van Veldhuizen
How can you integrate sustainability as a “green thread” throughout your educational programme?
In the 2024–2025 academic year, the service document (including toolbox) “The Green Thread” was launched through a collaboration between the MBO Council, Leren voor Morgen, CINOP and Summa. The Green Thread supports MBO teaching teams with a step-by-step approach to embedding sustainability structurally within their curriculum. At the Fontys Green Office, this approach has also been translated for higher professional education (HBO).
In this workshop, we will guide you through the step-by-step process behind The Green Thread. Participants will explore how sustainability can be integrated into their own educational context and will start weaving their own green thread within their programme.
From Technology to Pedagogical Choices
Time: 13.45 – 14.45
Language: Dutch
Room:
Speaker: Jan Jaap Hubeek , Wouter Modderkolk
When does AI contribute to good education — and when does it undermine what we truly value?
AI promises to make education faster, more efficient and more personalised. But what happens to the space for doubt, curiosity and genuine encounter when systems increasingly determine what “good education” looks like? In this session, we explore the tension between time that rushes forward and time that slows down to create space. The session draws inspiration from the book “Staying Human Between Systems – A Plea for Humane Education in the Age of AI” by Jan Jaap Hubeek.
Participants will work with their own “fabulous struggle”: the challenge of creating time and space for what truly matters in education. Through a structured writing and listening exercise in groups of three, participants reflect on what they are trying to make possible in their teaching by remaining open, why this matters, and what makes it difficult.
Participants will write encouraging letters to one another — not as advice, but as a form of recognition and support.
This session is relevant for MBO, HBO and WO, as the pressure of systems, schedules and accountability is felt across all levels of education. At the same time, the pedagogical core — the encounter with the student — everywhere requires the same vulnerability.
No ready-made answers, but courage.
Not technology, but connection.
