THE PROBLEM

School should be a place where children discover the world. The impact of what they learn at school is substantial so it should be as close-to-their-heart as possible. Therefore school should be larger than just the physical location where all the classes take place. Cooking should be taught in a real kitchen, with a cook. Engineering can best be taught in a factory, with the engineers ,and the workers. Have archeologists teach history lessons and have singers give musical classes …

Far too little of this happens, too often schools are somewhat isolated places, teaching classes away from the real world, … Tools to help both students and schools to enrich the learning experience hardly exist.

HOW WE SOLVE IT

Ondertussen.nu is a platform facilitating schools to offer a rich growth and development path to their students. It’s a platform matching schools with interesting speakers (teachers) and with exciting schooling locations. 

Ondertussen.nu lowers the hurdles between school and the real live environment in which the students live.

Ondertussen.nu contributes to stimulate both students and teachers to develop, to grow, to learn in connecting culture, sports, science and technology, craftsmanship, the business world, school … 

Ondertussen.nu offer a meeting place where schools can ask for 

• an inspiring teacher for certain classes, 

• real live teaching locations (a theater for the singing classes, a tree hut for storytelling, an engineering room for electronics classes …)

• class material to enliven teaching

• ideas in general to give more depth and content to classes

• and so much more …

and where people can offer 

• themselves as teachers with a profound knowledge and a true passion about certain topics,

• interesting teaching locations

• a live experience like a behind-the-scenes tour in a theatre, or a guided tour though a production plant, a book-reading in the library …

• study material

• and more ….

Ondertussen.nu is a platform facilitating the cross-over from ‘school’ to the ‘real life world by enriching the learning experience.
