He also co-founded the Brussels folkhighschool Citizenne (www.citizenne.be) and the Master in Education and Research for Sustainable Development at the Anton De Kom University of Suriname. His main research interest involves contemporary developmental issues and transitions with a scope on ‘communities’ through an intersectional approach, often in cooperation with other disciplines, such as engineering, biology, economy & policy management. Groups, communities & configurations can be seen as an ‘eco-system’, in continuous interaction with their physical (natural, urban, rural), economical and societal environment. It is the study of this dynamic that often gains new insights & alternatives for the social quality of live.
He teaches (amongst other) Andragology; Management & Innovation for the social & non profit; Sustainable Development: Educational theories and International Policy; Community Development: discourse, theories and paradigms; Social and cultural transition strategies for Sustainability and Development; System Thinking in Education.
