Conference: Finding Your Way to Well-being in Foundational Education

All information about the keynotes, knowledge sessions and workshops at the conference is now available online. You can put together your own day programme based on your personal interests. Registration for the conference is still possible.

Programme
The conference offers a range of keynotes. Marloes Kleinjan will share the latest research insights into the mental health of children and young people, Ivo Dokman will discuss important aspects of group dynamics, and Jelle Jolles will explore in depth how expectations and performance pressure affect young people.

In addition, you can choose from a wide range of parallel sessions. These sessions will show you how to increase students’ well-being at school, how to organise internal and external support, and what you can do to strengthen your own resilience as well as that of the team.

During the conference, students from Bossche Vakschool will also offer you some surprising activities that you can join spontaneously.

The conference will conclude with an inspiring performance by Redo, who travels all over the world as a professional dancer and speaker for shows, workshops, lectures and competitions. You really won’t want to miss this performance!
