Recently, the VU A Broader Mind Community Event took place on a somewhat unconventional academic location: the Amsterdamse Bos. An event that brought together teachers, education experts and students around the vision of socially engaged education, A Broader Mind.
“It doesn't necessarily require extraordinary effort as a teacher: the vision can also be achieved in simple ways.

Or by asking critical questions to students during economics classes about profit, capitalism, and their significance in the contemporary world.”
