3dubbel – Experiential expertise in education
To what extent do we take the knowledge and experience of children and students seriously? Is there room to use that knowledge within education? And how does that work when it comes to young people with chronic conditions?
By shifting the perspective from ‘I pose a problem’ to ‘I add value’, the experiences of students with chronic conditions can be transformed into expert knowledge. This way, personal experience proves to be a valuable contribution to education.
Together, students at the teacher training college for primary education (pabo) and their teachers, designed interactive tools to help teachers and students switch roles, tackle ‘difficult’ topics, and develop insights into the value of lived experience with chronic conditions. These tools are not only used at Hogeschool Utrecht but also in primary schools. During their internships, students bring these ideas directly into the educational field. Open the drawer and activate your own experiential knowledge and that of others.
This project is a collaboration of Stichting Zorgeloos naar School and education professionals from HU pabo (Hogeschool Utrecht) and social designers Marjolein Vermeulen and Myrthe Veeneman (MV design). Supported by the Agis Innovatiefonds.
