DESIGNING FOR LEARNING
​'Critical Skills In The Netherlands'

Community Learning - Experiential Learning - Problem-Based Learning - Quality Learning - Reflective Learning

Zwolle Conference Day

Friday 14th November 2025

Hallo Iedereen!

Thank you for visiting this webpage.
​The aim is to give you some information about what to expect and how to prepare to get the most from the experience. 

All of our training events link together, especially if we have worked with you before.
Our workshops in Zwolle 2025 will link back to the workshops in 2023. We will ask you to reflect and make connections in order to progress further in your journey with Critical Skills. 

Don't worry if your memory is not good or if you did not attend the workshop in 2023, keep scrolling down to the last section. We have put some materials there to help you reconnect.

ZWOLLE 2025

'What's In It For ME?'
Small Changes, BIG IMPACT
Picture
The big question framing the day is 'WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME? 
We would like you to be reflecting on this big question throughout the day - from different points of view. What's in it for YOU, as the educator. What's in it for your learners? What's in it for the parents/carers? What's in it for EVERYONE? 
How can the day help you to think more deeply? How can the day help you to make more connections? How can the day inspire what you do on Monday? How can the day result in small changes that have a BIG impact? 

You will all be at different points on your Critical Skills journey. The day will give you all an opportunity to reflect, connect and progress on this journey. In 2023, we talked about the WHY of Critical Skills. We also talked about linking learning experiences. 

This year, we will think more deeply about using Critical Skills on a daily basis in your practice in order to achieve learning goals. How can Critical Skills be the foundation and the glue of your curriculum?
Preparation
To get the most from the day, it will be helpful to come prepared.
Please bring an example of your week's timetable - printed or written on A4 paper. This does not need to have lots of detail.
​

It needs to be 'yours' - something you use to plan or think about your week - not something new that you think you must create for us! 
It may look something like this... ​

Also, it WILL be useful to have access to the internet​ - a smartphone, tablet or laptop - during the workshop. We will use a link to a website as part of the session.
Materials 
After the workshop, the materials we use will be available here.
