"I have a background in Nursing and Health Sciences. I conducted a PhD on facilitating action research in dynamic and complex practices and what this requires of a system of support. For quite some time I have been involved in the development of person-centered learning and working environments/cultures. I mainly use participatory action research."

"I would like to see more space for different education. The ambition needs to go beyond just adjusting the curriculum and (re)training teachers, but rather needs to take into account the entire system (structures, processes and cultures). A person-centered curriculum aims to achieve this."
