We live in a complex world amid societal transitions, such as climate change, population growth, healthcare accessibility and digitalisation. Shaping these transitions to support a sustainable future requires vision, leadership and skills to initiate and direct change processes. This calls for education where students learn the skills and attitudes to shape transitions. For example, being able to collaborate and reflect, connect perspectives and build bridges between people and ideas, have the guts to experiment, dare to go against the flow and be resilient.

The Transition Makers Toolbox contains ready-to-use educational materials, from ‘Positive Reframing’ to ‘Navigating Uncertainty’ and ‘Fostering Resilience’, created for and by teachers who want to equip their students with the necessary skills to become the change-makers of the future. Using the Inner Development Goals framework, select the desired learning outcome and discover a creative learning activity with a corresponding assessment method. The tools were developed in co-creation with teachers and educational developers across seven higher education institutions in the Netherlands and are free to download and use.
