UTQ-BKO Certification Ceremony Spring 2026

Share

On 21 May 2026, the UTQ-BKO Spring 2026 Graduation Ceremony will take place under the theme 'The Beautiful Madness of Teaching'.

In this interactive and celebratory gathering, we honor not only the completion of the UTQ and BKO trajectories, but also the creativity, courage, and care that teaching asks of us. Through short contributions, audience interaction, and shared reflection, the ceremony highlights the surprising, thoughtful, and sometimes unconventional practices through which teachers make learning possible. In doing so, it celebrates both the achievement of our graduates and the living craft of education itself. 

Host: Klaas de Zwaan
Invited panelists: Renske Amersfoort, Gillian Zwart, Bart van der Meer

To share insights into the art and science of teaching, inspiring the next generation of educators. This panel invites you to reflect on the essence of great teaching—where passion, innovation, and student engagement turn learning into an extraordinary journey.    

This event is by invitation only for graduating candidates and their guests. Graduates will receive a personal invitation for the certification ceremony, including a form where they can register.
