We are a vivid eco-system of rebels, artists, students, gamechangers, lecturers, alumni, warriors, researchers, professionals, designers and so on. And in fact, in each of us lies a bit of all of these.
As part of Breda University of applied sciences we offer a Bachelor programme. Our main topic is transformative social innovation – this is what we teach, practice and explore together. Our common values and vision create the relations on which our community is based. What we all hold dear is the idea that we are all responsible for the quality of life of all and that in order to contribute to that we ourselves need to evolve. We have the power to positively transform our world. So we ask ourselves: why not?
