MBO Day | location: MBO-college Zuidoost (ROC A'dam)

The mbo is the place to make the connection between professions of the future and the new economy. Therefore, it is important to permanently ensure that education in the economic domain is in line with developments in society and the professional field.

During the national MBO Day of Economics Education Week, MBO teachers and students in the economics field engage in a conversation about how to do this. This is also the case at MBO-college Zuidoost. Several Impact Economy initiatives from the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area will come together there to meet and share knowledge. Teachers and students from ROC van Amsterdam ⎸ Flevoland will share their experiences in applying new economic thinking in the fields of fashion, food, digitalization and circular economy. The program offers new insights as well as practical tools and teaching materials that can be used directly in education.
