Minor content
Fast fashion, plastic soup, meat consumption, depletion of resources. Businesses, also in retail, are affected by a changing environment and at the same time, they affect the environment. Businesses are more and more held responsible for their carbon footprint and for their impact on the environment. And some businesses feel responsible. Others pretend and use greenwashing.
You will gain an in depth understanding of transitions, circular economy, circular business models and sustainability.
We will run our project in the first circular hub in Friesland, visit companies, talk to experts, and create sustainable solutions for (retail) organizations.
Structure of the minor
This 30 EC minor is organized as a project, based in the Cycle Up Hub and at NHL Stenden. Three times a week we have project meetings in which we share knowledge about Circular Economy and work on the business cases. We invite experts for guest lectures and workshops. We organize field trips. You conduct field research and closely cooperate with the businesses. It is a Lab!
You use relevant sources, such as Ellen MacArthur Foundation, Rotmans, Klomp, Loorbach, Cavagnaro, documentaries, podcasts. We don’t prescribe literature.
We pay attention to your personal growth and your professional development. Therefore, we have coaching sessions to monitor the team work, the individual performance and the personal learning process.
