March 2017 an interesting book came out. It’s a reflection of the design research Marco Broekman and Dingeman Deijs did for education in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

FLEX TEST ROC digged into the ecosystem of vocational education. The focus was on accommodation and the strategy to be flexible and hybrid towards new learning possibilities.

Marco and I worked together in forming a vision on new learning possibilities for vocational training and the translation towards accommodation. Marco worked really hard with his multidisciplinairy team and made it real in cooperation with the Wood- and Furniturecollege in a great maquette.

It was really nice to contribute to this really important question and help vocational education to make the needed steps forward. Thank you Marco Broekman for the opportunity.
