In the project The Evolving Canvas, lecturers and students collaborate to redesign courses—such as those in the Bachelor of Anthropology and at the Institute for Environmental Studies (IVM). This approach not only enhances subject knowledge but also stimulates essential skills like critical thinking and creativity. Student Romy de Vos shares: “Both lecturers and students contributed valuable input during the workshop, and there was mutual respect for each other’s perspectives. The lecturers brought their expertise, while we students shared our experiences. This made the discussion truly meaningful.” Fellow students Ewa Brózda and Georgy Vecchiet also share their reflections.
