A hitchhiker's guide to challenge-based learning

Many universities in the Netherlands and around the world are seriously exploring challenge-based learning. The University of Twente is on its way to implementing this educational philosophy in the next few years, the Eindhoven University of Technology already embedded it into its core educational strategy, and Maastricht University has been practising problem-based learning, a close cousin of challenge-based learning, already since its founding in 1976!

Tilburg University has also dipped its toes in this trend, and today on the show we are exploring the Societal Challenge, a one-and-a-half-day event in which students came together to try and solve some interesting and pressing problems.

Guests in alphabetical order:

• Anne van der Velden (challenge organizer)
• Bendegúz Ken Bonecz (student)
• Frank van den Berg (expert on challenge-based learning)

If you would like to get in touch with Anne, feel free to reach out to her via A.vdrVelden@tilburguniversity.edu.
