Roler - English

This workshop focuses on communication and how the way we express ourselves can influence others’ reactions. It explores why some people may feel offended by certain messages, while others respond positively to the same words. The goal is to help participants become more aware of their communication style and understand different perspectives. The workshop is relevant not only for professional settings but also for everyday personal interactions. In addition, we will briefly introduce Roler, the company we work for, including its mission, vision, and the work we do. The session aims to be practical, engaging, and easy to apply in real-life situations.

Team050 - Dutch

Als Team050 bieden wij begeleiding aan kinderen en jongeren. Praktisch, doelgericht en vol enthousiasme. Deze begeleiding wordt gedaan door jonge professionals. Tijdens het BSS Congres laten we jou graag kennismaken met werkgeluk. En dan natuurlijk vooral het belang ervan! Bij Team050 is het verzuim al jaren super laag en scoren we op werkgeluk hoog. Hier zijn we dan ook dagelijks mee bezig. Zo laten wij al een tijdje de vaste 9 tot 5 structuur los en zijn we druk bezig met flexibel werken. Tijdens dit dagdeel inspireren we jou met een stuk theorie, concrete voorbeelden en acties waarmee je eenvoudig morgen aan de slag kunt.

Noorden Duurzaam - English

Workshop on Social Aspects of Task Democracy. Task democracy is a novel social and political concept for acceleration of urgent sustainability transitions, for climate change mitigation, regenerative agriculture, circular economy, minority rights, citizenship, global justice, etc. At its core the concept is about task division and society-wide project coordination between science, citizens, government, businesses and non-profits, for which adequate platforms are still lacking. This workshop provides you with a brief introduction, a review of psychological, sociological and educational aspects, and a hands-on roleplay simulation. In the simulation we split into five groups of task group representatives. We’ll test a task democratic decision making procedure and observe a sense of safety, solidarity, justice and collective change leadership. In plenary evaluation we consider benefits, costs and risks, and we explore how you can use the task democratic method in your career as a change maker.
