Call for Co-Creation: TU Delft at CDKM Day 2023

On the previous Monday, TU Delft participated in the annual City Deal Kennis Maken (CDKM) Day, a platform for exchanging best practices on how cities and higher education institutions can mutually benefit through civic engagement in education and research.

TU Delft received a grant earlier this year to collaborate on co-creation in education at the local level, together with its higher education partners in Delft – Hague University of Applied Sciences, Inholland, and ROC Mondriaan.

Project leader Saskia Postema had the opportunity to discuss our experiences in co-creation in transdisciplinary, multi-level education with minister Dijkgraaf. For example, the City Deal facilitated a TU Delft and the Hague University of Applied Sciences cross-over, where mixed student teams explored youth citizen participation in Delft-West.

Our goal is to expand these cross-curricular collaborations in the near future, by using authentic challenges that have been placed on the agenda by local citizen stakeholders themselves.
