Training Purpose Driven Learning
Do you want to integrate purpose driven learning in your study programme? Do you want to empower your students on a deeper level? Are you searching for ways how to do this? Do you feel limited time for designing and prototyping? Do you want to connect with like-minded educational professionals?
‘Unlock student’s potential for societal challenges’
To explore your deepest motive. To develop yourself toward the meaning you may have in the world and an education that helps you pursue it. Whether studying engineering, economics or health, isn’t that what all educators wish for their students? But how to design education that makes this possible? In this two-day training programme you will find out, by experience and thoughtful interaction.
This two-day training programme (4 and 5 June) takes place at Saxion UAS in Enschede, The Netherlands
The first day guides you through the framework and designing principles of Purpose Driven Education. The second day will be dedicated to designing your own educational concepts in a pressure cooker. In small groups, you will share and shape your ideas for your institution. You will make use of the expertise and feedback of the whole group to come up with a first concept. In addition, this is the perfect event for you and your institution to create a network and perhaps even design a joint purpose driven course or semester.
Creating education is not something we have to do all by ourselves. By bringing people together, we can bridge gaps and find smarter ways for designing future education. In fact, this is not just a training. Combining educational dreams and appreciation of each other’s talents will contribute all of us to help strengthen education in Europe. This training can be a starting point for a strong community to foster sustainable future cooperation between education programmes and universities.
Following this training, another event will take place on our campus: the International Honours Conference 'Unleashing Potential.' This two-day event (June 6 and 7) is particularly suitable for gaining even more inspiration regarding innovative education. See further details on this page.

Join our City as text tour in Enschede - 700 years full of history
City as text is literally 'reading' the city. But it's a 'close-reading,' aimed at obtaining a multitude of perspectives ('interpretations') of the city. Often, we only superficially observe the city: streets, houses, squares, beautiful/ugly buildings. But there is much more: people, sometimes influenced by their workplaces or living situations, sometimes by the buildings or the environment. By carefully observing a small piece, questioning it, and using all five senses, a rich image of that part of the city emerges. And when we are in a large group, we divide into small groups across the city, thereby gathering a rich picture of Enschede!
So, come join us! Choose your district (Horstlanden-Stadsweide, Pathmos or Roombeek) beforehand, immerse yourself in its details, and then share your insights with fellow participants.
Date and time: June 5th, 10:30 am – 5:30 pm
Participation is free, but lunch and drinks are not provided. Please wear comfortable walking shoes and dress appropriately for the weather. Beforehand you can choose out of three districts.
When you attend a training, you often gain a lot of inspiration and ideas to work with. However, once you're back, you quickly get caught up in the daily grind again. This has been our own experience as well. Changing and innovating education can sometimes be challenging. It requires perseverance and, certainly, celebrating successes and (small) breakthroughs. That's why we also want to explore with the participants a follow up. To support each other in further developing ideas and concepts within your educational institution. By doing this, we can help and inspire each other. Therefore, you can also consider this training as a starting point for a breeding ground of educational innovation. Where you can brainstorm, share ideas, and support each other further.
Event location
The training will take place at Saxion University of Applied Sciences, Campus Enschede. Enschede is a regional city in the Eastern part of The Netherlands. You can easily book your stay in a hotel on walking distance from Saxion.
