Bildung Climate School

The Bildung Climate School is back for another year! Our new management team is actively preparing the next stage of the BCS - towards our third and final extra-curricular pilot, and towards our first Minor! A lot in store for 2026. But first, we're very excited to be working together with Hogeschool Inholland, who will join Erasmus School of Social and Behavioural Sciences (ESSB) and Albeda mbo as our HBO, WO and MBO partners in the BCS!

It's over! After 12 beautiful, intense, inspiring weeks together we graduated 25 students from the 2025 edition of the Bildung Climate School. This year our students worked together in mixed MBO, HBO and WO groups to produce a sustainability-themed fashion show in collaboration with Albeda mbo Fashion - and that all came together yesterday at DE HER Milieupark in Rotterdam, with the impressive "Made in Humane Conditions" show and exhibition. Congratulations to all of our graduates, and a huge thank you to all of the teachers of the Bildung Track and the Project Track. This closes off Phases 1 & 2 of the Bildung Climate School, so as we round off this stage of our project, we'd like to thank the funders who got us there: Erasmus Trustfonds, Erasmus School of Social and Behavioural Sciences (ESSB), Albeda mbo, Secretariaat NPRZ, ErasmusX. We'd also like to extend a huge thank to HefHouse for hosting us, to De Bildung Academie for coordinating the Bildung Track, and to stichting NIVOZ for the strategic support. Thank you to Albeda IEMS and Fashion for the amazing collaboration! We look forward to the next exciting phase of the project! See you all next year! 💚 Team BCS

The Bildung Climate School starts again next week after a two week hiatus for the May Holidays (Meivakantie) - we're excited to see our students develop their projects towards a sustainable fashion show and exhibition on July 8! Some footage of our students rummaging through discarded cloth and clothes for inspiration on their "junk" runway outfit just before the break. Next up: Rutger Engels and Shirley-Ann Mathis will be guiding our students through psychological and mindfulness practices to manage their (eco) anxiety!
