Masterclass Sustainability is high on the national political agenda. Legal frameworks have been set for energy use and CO2 reduction, and housing associations face a considerable task. Would you like to know what sustainability means for you? How do you translate housing ambitions into action? What are the circular choices for new building and renovation? Would you like to make an impact? Then this masterclass is for you. During the masterclass you learn about making the housing stock more sustainable, circular construction and the CO2 footprint. With fresh insight you build an organisation that is ready for the future, with homes people can afford.

Masterclass Reducing CO2 starts with getting a clear picture of what you emit: a baseline measurement across all greenhouse gases. This masterclass gives you the means to make that measurement. One method for drawing up a CO2 footprint is the CO2 Performance Ladder, which also allows your organisation or project to be certified. Reduction begins with knowing the source, because that is where a reduction plan starts. During these two days you learn how to draw up a CO2 footprint. Several methods are in use for this. You also learn how to put together a realistic reduction plan for energy and greenhouse gas activities.

01Our course groups consist of a maximum of 8 participants. This creates a safe, personal environment with plenty of room for interaction and attention to personal development.
02All our courses are 'new style'. You are challenged on your skills and competencies. We alternate theory with workshops and experiments, so you learn to speak from experience.
03Our courses take place in a nature-rich setting in Oosterbeek or at the Hoge Veluwe National Park. We use nature as our teacher and explore the surroundings together.
04Sharing knowledge and skills is an interactive process. That's why there is ample room for your own input into the programme. Decide with your fellow participants where you want to go deeper.
05Biomimicry is the science and art of emulating nature's best ideas. You learn a new way of looking at your colleagues, your production processes and your product design.
06After your courses, join the Friends of the Future network. Brush up your knowledge during our Reunion Days, or use them as networking events. You also gain access to an extensive knowledge base.
For over twenty years I have worked as a director, manager and project and programme manager on various change processes and sustainability challenges. Originally trained in finance, I am now a generalist working as a strategic change manager and sustainability expert. I have practised biomimicry since 2011 and regularly give workshops as a visionary in the field of sustainability and organisational science.
With a background as a biologist and Bio-Inspired Innovator, I have been working actively with biomimicry since 2022. In my work I connect insights from nature to innovation and sustainable enterprise. For our newsletter, de Digibij, I write articles that make biomimicry accessible and applicable. I also speak on biomimicry and sustainable business design, challenging others to see nature as a source of inspiration for novel, sustainable solutions.
