What is The Bildung Academy?
De Bildung Academie develops programs and offers training, coaching and consulting around personal-professional development and social responsibility.
In our ideal world, we bring as many people as possible into contact with themselves and connect them with others. As a collective, they tackle personal and societal challenges.
That is why we are building the university of the 21st century. We do this together with The Bildung Network: a community consisting of new generations of students and (young) professionals, teachers, artists, scientists and organizations within the public sector, education and sustainable business.
Can I combine training with coaching?
This is indeed quite possible. This allows lessons learned from the trainings to land well with you.
What is the duration of a training course?
Trainings last between 2 and 3.5 hours. This can be arranged by mutual agreement.
Where do training sessions take place?
Training can always take place in-company, i.e. at your organization's location. If you wish to choose your own location outside your workplace, we will be happy to visit you there as well. If this is not possible or not desirable, we always have our own beautiful, central location at the Prins Hendrikkade in Amsterdam. If desired, online is also possible.
What is Bildung?
Bildung is actively, consciously, and ethically relating to your inner self, others, and the world. It represents the ideal that people develop themselves as broadly and fully as possible and take on social responsibility.
We have been inspired by the ideas of classic bildungsdenkers such as Wilhelm von Humboldt (1767 - 1835) and Theodor Adorno (1903-1969), but also by contemporary thinkers such as Gert Biesta, Martha Nussbaum and Roman Krznaric.
