Graduation Thesis: LEER-FABRIEK

WHAT

Leer-Fabriek is a concept that gives vmbo-students literally and figuratively space to discover and develop their own interests and passions. The student selects or invents what he wants to learn. Based on the students' input, experts are sought and asked to provide this information. The lesson takes place in a different location than school, but close by. The space in which this lesson is given is flexible, inspiring and carries along with it the' tone of voice' of De Leer-fabriek.

WHO

Vmbo-students, aged 12 – 16, are not interested in going to school. Still, they are eager to learn and can get involved when a subject is close to their experience.
