SPARK! The journey continues....
Outcome of the pioneer phase of SPARK now used in the updated curricula in the Creative Business faculty
Perhaps you have heard of us before? We are SPARK. A mixed group of colleagues from six different courses in the Creative Business faculty. In recent years, we have developed, tested and further refined training courses around 21st Century Skills such as empathy, leadership and inclusion, with an intercultural awareness of our external environment.
For a good overview, visit Welcome to Spark. Check out our range of activities there!
January 1st; new chances
SPARK has been a pioneer for several years in investigating what it is like to jointly develop education for students from different courses. The result of all that hard work is that colleagues from the courses work well and with pleasure in the renewed education of the faculty.
And we will continue to build in 2024!
We are very proud that the CRB faculty is going to go even bigger. Because SPARK as a Skills hub will stop on January 1, 2024 (and will no longer develop new training courses within the CRB faculty) but will become part of a broader development process for elective education in year 3/4. Much more about this soon….
Would you like to know more about certain topics or training? Please contact SPARK. We can work with you to see how we can embed the developed educational activities in a blended manner into your training. Possibly with a train-the-trainer or extra didactic support for an activating Blend (including Moodle), depending on your needs.
In the context of “dare to learn from each other”, we hope that you will implement our educational activities in your training. And of course we are always open to feedback!
