We live in a time in which our society is constantly subject to change. How do you respond flexibly to this with your education and find a connection with what is needed in professional practice? How do you put students in charge themselves and make them adaptive in our rapidly changing world? With learning communities in our urban living labs, Inholland University of Applied Sciences is looking for the answer. Qualitative and relevant education: that is what Inholland wants to offer. Education that is up-to-date, that is in line with what the world demands of young professionals and what they themselves want to learn. We give our students the space to get to work on current issues that are playing a role in the city or region. Our living labs are therefore located where social issues are playing a role. In this way, we try to be of value to the local environment.  By entering into interdisciplinary partnerships, we connect education, research and a diversity of professional partners. We consciously choose this integral approach in which students and learning coaches from different programs, researchers and professional partners work together in an equal partnership. In which we learn with and from each other in connection. We let students take control of their own learning path, with a lot of attention for personal development.
