The fact that plastics are useful is uncontested – it is proven by the fact that plastics are everywhere! Unfortunately, a lot of it is created for one time use, which is only a problem because plastic is not very bio-degradable – like, at all. Or is it? Most of us simply don’t know…
…which is why we have organized this workshop for you on the 9th of April. It will combine a clean-up and a monitoring session with a lecture on plastics by Lorenzo Somai (a graduating Aqua EcoTechnology student)!
This is the planned schedule for that day (9th of April):
10:30-11:30 CleanUp
11:45-12:15 Lecture on Plastic
12:15-13:00 Lunch Break
13:00-14:30 Monitoring
Sign up for individual or all sessions in this sign up sheet https://bit.ly/3dF7N2d (sign in with your HZ account when accessing). Due to current regulations, this event has a maximum capacity of 30 people.
With this event we hope to contribute to quality education, (SDG 4), sustainable cities and communities (SDG 11) responsible consumption and production (SDG 12) climate action (SDG 13).
We hope to see you there and help us free the planet of our trash! +
A huge amount of plastic waste ends up in water and on land. The HZ Green Office organises clean-ups every week across several locations, such as the beach, the harbour and along the canal. Feel free to join! +
Before the Climate Alarm starts, we will start drawing circles with chalk on the ground of the Market Square in Middelburg to mark where each person has to stand (to make it Corona-proof!). If you want to spend some time away from the screen, outside and give yourself some play time, JOIN US!
On 14/03/2021 at 14:00h, people will take the streets to demand more climate action at the Middelburg Market Square. Before the Climate Alarm starts, we will start drawing circles with chalk on the ground of the Market Square in Middelburg to mark where each person has to stand to make it Corona-proof! This takes place at 11:00h. This action is carried out locally and is nationally supported by various organizations including FNV, Woonbond, Greenpeace, Ofxam, Milieudefensie, Fridays for Future and XR. A local coalition of organizations and citizens that support climate-just policy is also being set up in Middelburg. +
Organisaties in de zorg en maatschappelijke ondersteuning willen helderheid verkrijgen over de taakomschrijving en de kennis en vaardigheden van onafhankelijke cliëntondersteuners, die mensen helpen om hun weg te vinden in het complexe landschap van zorg en ondersteuning. +
Upcoming Friday afternoon, just before Autumn break, a clothes swap is organised (HZ Middelburg, room GW218, 12-16h). The event is collaboratively organised by students from both International Business and Global Project and Change Management. During the swap, the film Citarum River will be shown. Citarum is world's most polluted river, due to the emissions of the textile companies that are producing "our clothes": clothes being sold here in the Netherlands by brands we all know. In addition to swapping clothes, you can also repair or refurbish clothes. A collection point where you can donate clothes has been set up at both HZ Vlissingen and Middelburg, downstairs. It would be great if you go through your wardrobe and donate clothes you don't longer need. All leftovers will be donated to Kledingbank Zeeland. Also much appreciated if you share this post amongst students and colleagues! +

Naast het delen van de diagnose met je werkgever zullen ook je (directe) collega’s geïnformeerd moeten worden. Het is aan jou om te beslissen hoe je dit het liefst wilt doen en of en hoe je hen wilt betrekken. Breng je je collega’s zelf op de hoogte of beslis je dit door je leidinggevende te laten doen? +
Collega's informeren. +
How do you communicate your circular economy efforts to your guests? +
The focus on social innovation makes communication a key element for the long term success of the project: it depends on the active participation of the target groups and lives on through an active stakeholder involvement. (1) Internal communication and involvement of the target groups: the elderly and local service providers are very different and both will need targeted communication in order to reach them effectively and ensure their longterm engagement. Elderly are a particularly difficult group to reach, the partners will develop a set of tools that helps to ensure the active engagement of the elderly in the pilots, based both on past experiences and also on the contributions of the observer partners who are representing elderly. (2) External communication. Active engagement with wider stakeholders is crucial to disseminate project results, but even more to ensure the transfer and durability of the project results and outputs. From the beginning, partner will identify and engage with potential follower communities that can take up the results and implement further (through targeted information, coaching, inviting them to relevant project events etc.). They will also make active use of their existing networks to ensure a wide uptake of the project through regular information. The observer partners will contribute with their own networks in collecting and disseminating information. +
