About De Bildung Academie 

At De Bildung Academie, we are working to create a learning environment where personal and professional development go hand in hand with social engagement. We focus on young people and (young) professionals and develop programs, training courses, and consulting projects at the intersection of education, citizenship, and personal development. Through our network of schools, (semi-)governmental institutions, civil society organizations, and businesses, we establish partnerships that are innovative and unifying. 

In our ideal world, as many people as possible are in touch with themselves and connected to others. As a collective, they tackle personal, professional, and societal challenges. To achieve this, we’re working together with an extensive network of clients, trainers, instructors, alumni, and coaches to build the university of the 21st century: the ideal model for education, learning, and development (read more here about “us” and “what is Bildung and our mission & vision”).

In these programs, participants develop their leadership skills and resilience and work on concrete initiatives for their city or neighborhood.

We do this in collaboration with, among others, ASML—one of our key partners—the City of Eindhoven, and local educational and community partners. You’ll connect these parties and ensure that ideas develop into robust programs.
