Graduation Community Program
Sign Up and Kick Off at 3Me
We learn more when we engage and work together: a call to action for 3Me graduation students!
As part of the project: ‘Shaping Successful Graduation journeys’ a pilot intervention will be explored at 3mE. This initiative aims to build a community for graduating students by offering “The Graduation Community Program” to all graduate students starting between the middle of October and the end of November. We want to provide tools to the students within their own graduating group so they can learn and help each other along their graduation journeys. We recommend all students to take the opportunity to kick-start their graduation community. Graduation might be an individual journey, but you don’t need to be alone in it. Join us on the kick-off day, November 8th, from 9.00 till 12.30. The program is organised by the TU Delft Study Climate Program in collaboration with 3Me. To be part of the program sign up here.
Paper published: An adaptive and strategic human-centred design approach to shaping pandemic design education that promotes wellbeing. [09/04/2021]
Since the outbreak of COVID-19, two researchers of the project team, Mieke van der Bijl-Brouwer and Rebecca Price, have been investigating student wellbeing. Their paper got published in a special issue on COVID-19 Global Emergency in the Strategic Design Research Journal. They describe how they used a strategic human-centred design and systems thinking approach. And present a number of design principles that can enable future designs that promote student wellbeing in (pandemic) higher education.
You can find the paper here.
