Our world is complex and full of wicked problems, such as poverty, climate change and gender equality etc. Through our education we can prepare students to be able to contribute to solving these challenges now and/or in the future. We need education that is more impact-driven, increasing the change capacity of the leaders of tomorrow. But how can you design your course to be more impact driven? What does this mean for our education, for our students and for your role as a teacher?

Content, form and time investment
This MicroLab has a blended format and consists of online preparation and one workshop.
- In the preparation in the online Canvas environment (3 hours) you will learn about the principles of impact driven education and explore your wishes and the opportunities you see for your course.
- During the online workshop (4 hours) you will get more inspiration on different strategies to design, facilitate and assess an impact driven learning experience. You will also reflect on your role as a teacher to guide your students towards the impact that you strive for. In a pressure cooker design session you make a start with the (re)design of your course to incorporate principles of impact driven education, together with peers and the trainer.
- After the workshop (2,5 hours) you will complete your design and reflect upon the strategies that you chose to create an impact driven learning experience. To support your additional educational materials, sources and examples for inspiration are provided. You will receive feedback on the redesign of your course by an educational consultant of CLI/Risbo.
Assessment and badge
Your Proof of Competence consists of a presentation of your (re)designed learning experience and a reflection on the design. You will get a CLI/Risbo certificate, a LinkedIn badge and a HR-registration of completion.
