Student-Stakeholder samenwerking II (Dutch)

This document is a teacher manual for a workshop (duration 2.5 hrs) that aims to support students in their collaboration with stakeholders (part II of two). The context for which the workshop has been designed is ‘regioleren’ which means that students work on real life complex issues aiming at sustainable regional development. Contributing to the issue at hand, requires the collaboration between students and stakeholders from (semi) governmental bodies, NGOs, businesses, etc. The document provides background information on boundary crossing and an elaborate description of the workshop (goals, program, practical details, tips for teachers). The workshop consists of three rounds: 1. Taking stock of the collaboration with stakeholders thus far; 2. Role play on facilitating a (difficult) stakeholder meeting; 3. Organising a (transformative) stakeholder event.

Identification of your own and others’ expertise

This learning activity is meant to identify available and lacking expertise, skills and attitudes in a project team. Preferably, the activity is carried out when a team just started to collaborate and has a bit of an impression of what the project and or project assignment is about. Students put as many as possible knowledge aspects, skills and attitudes they master on separate post-its. They collect and categorise their findings and discuss overlap and gaps in their project teams’ expertise/portfolio. The assignment ends with the development of an action plan for dealing with any of the identified teams’ limitations/risks.

Exploring boundaries in research

The assignment in this presentation can be used to explore any kind of boundaries experienced by participants in their research project. The aim of the questions is that participants explicate boundaries they faced (or may face in the future) and to discuss how to turn these boundaries into learning opportunities. The slides are used in a presentation given as part of a PhD course on Transformative research by Judith Gulikers and Karen Fortuin (Sept 2021).
