Strengthen entrepreneurial capacity
€ 20,00The professorship Entrepreneurship in Transition has developed a philosophy to strengthen the entrepreneurial capacity of individuals, companies and regions. The philosophy assumes that successful entrepreneurship is both a personal and a collective assignment exploring possibilities. The Critical Friend Method is a working method that takes shape in multi-level and multi-disciplinary settings and can be applied to innovation, connection and entrepreneurship issues.
People are challenged to take self-direction, think critically, and take the next step.
Companies with innovation challenges can successfully use the Critical Friend Method to share knowledge bypassing potential hierarchical constraints.
Regions in the world are facing challenging transitions. Such as from linear to circular creation processes. This method contributes to the current transitions in society by promoting knowledge sharing, stories and exchange.
Strengthen entrepreneurial capacity Strengthen entrepreneurial capacity is a handbook that provides all the tools to support this process and offers instructions that have been tested in practice for students, entrepreneurs, teachers and workplaces.The professorship Entrepreneurship in Transition is a collaboration between Hanze University of Applied Sciences Groningen and Alfa-college.
Hendrik Werkman
€ 15,00Museum Belvédère stelt een coherente reeks kunstwerken van Hendrik Werkman (1882-1945) centraal, één van de belangrijkste modernisten uit Noord-Nederland. Een belangrijk onderdeel van de presentatie zijn de vroege druksels Schoorstenen, Compositie met letter a, Compositie met gewichten en Compositie, een volledige reeks uitgaven The Next Call en één van Werkmans belangrijkste schilderijen Voerman uit 1923.
Met de tentoonstelling en de uitgave Hendrik Werkman – van Voerman tot Baalschem wil Museum Belvédère de aandacht vestigen op een bijzondere Werkman-collectie, maar ook op de betekenis die gepassioneerd particulier collectioneren kan hebben voor musea. Tevens vormt ze een eerbetoon aan de kunstenaar die zijn persoonlijke vrijheid vond in zijn werk en uiteindelijk vlak voor het einde van de Tweede Wereldoorlog bij Bakkeveen werd gefusilleerd.
Humanity is not a plague
€ 15,00In Humanity is Not a Plague, Cees Buisman argues that it is possible for 10 billion people to exist together on this Earth – as predicted for the year 2100 – provided that the richer part of the world no longer merely focuses on its own health, prosperity and happiness, and instead starts working seriously on developing a higher consciousness.
In this essay, Buisman sharply analyzes some of the problems facing mankind, such as fresh water shortages, whilst overturning several clichés and offering unexpected, positive solutions. Overpopulation is not the problem; the effects of our actions on the rest of the world have a much greater impact. ‘Back to nature’ is not the solution, nor is an overreliance on science and innovation. Large-scale technologies could even increase our problems. It seems that the growth of humanity will depend on the growth of our consciousness.
Cees Buisman studied water purification engineering, in addition to business administration, communication theory and applied integral psychology. Throughout his life he has worked on new environmental technologies, which are used in industry all over the world. His scientific work is highly cited. Buisman is the Director of Wetsus – European Center for Sustainable Water Technology, and Professor at Wageningen University, in the Netherlands.
