Co-Create Urban Transition - INT explores the complex issues of housing, welfare and care. Use your creativity. Colloborate. Find solutions.
Social developments such as population decline and aging have strong negative effects on both liveability and economic development. This is further reinforced by a retreating government.
On the other hand, it gives citizens more freedom. And it opens up opportunities for starting professionals. In the minor Co-Create Urban Transition - INT at HAN University of Applied Sciences you work together with multiple disciplines.
You work on innovative ideas for the physical, social and digital world. The finished product? A clear urban development vision or design for a complex situation in a city or rural area.
* Co-creation and civic participation
* Urban design and analysis
* Transition and project management
Type of minor
This is a block exchange course. The exchange course is offered once or twice a year in a block during a semester.
This is a differentiation exchange course. This means it enables you to develop your professional competences in a different / broader context.

Learning outcomes
The learning outcomes listed below will help you decide whether this exchange course matches your personal goals.
Urban interdisciplinary research:
You learn to view an existing situation from various angles and to report on it.
Urban interdisciplinary design:
You work with various other disciplines to find integral solutions for complex built environments focused on housing, well-being and care.
We work in the "Civil Society Lab" in Nijmegen:
That’s a central meeting place for students, lecturers and professionals from the work field. Here you can exchange ideas and collaborate with other students. You’ll be sharing the Civil Society Lab with students working on various other assignments.

project in groups of 3 to 5 students.
• Attend guided sessions by urban development project
leader and/or external city planner.
• Follow workshops in the field of (analysis and design)
skills.
• Attend lectures from the professional field of the three

Assessment
During this exchange course your performance will be assessed in the following ways:
• The student carries out a study in this MRA. The
following steps are generally followed and tested:
As a group:
1. Draw up an Action Plan for the entire semester in the
first month, to be approved by the supervisors.
2. Carry out a literature study in the first block, where the
theme is chosen but has to be approved by the
supervisors.
3. Carry out an urban, interdisciplinary and integral
analysis of the project locations as described in the
Plan of Approach. Interdisciplinary means that the
domains of housing, care and welfare are addressed.
Integral means that integral solutions have been sought
for the physical, social and digital world.
4. Make urban, interdisciplinary and integrated design
proposals for the project locations as described in the
Action Plan.
5. Record the analysis and design in a written report.
6. Present the research orally.
Individual:
• Build a portfolio of your knowledge development by
reflecting on the lectures and activities offered and on
the development of your analysis and design skills.
Schedule and global programmed contact time
Contact hours are included in the form of guided sessions, workshops, lectures, excursions / study trips and exam time. Because the program varies per block, we cannot give precise contact hours in advance..
* We work in the "Civil Society Lab" in Nijmegen.
Broadly speaking, contact hours are as follows:
• Guest lectures: 24 hours (16 weeks x 1,5 hours)
• Workshops: 18 hours (9w x2h)
• Pressure Cookers: 72 hours (3w x24h)
• Guided sessions: 28 hours (14w x 2h)
• Conferences: 8 hours
• Excursions and/or study trips: 40 hours
• Exam in the form oral presentation: 2 hours
• Assessment: 1 hour
In total, excluding exam time, a total of 193 hours of contact time is programmed. This amounts to 9.7 hours per week. The contact hours will largely be scheduled on Wednesday and, for full-time students, also on Tuesday and Thursday.
For self-employment, all hours are held outside contact time, such that the study load of 42 hours per week for full-time and 20 hours for part-time is met. With the above-mentioned contact time programming, this amounts to 36.7 hours per week.
Literature
There is no specific required literature. Literature relating tot the lectures is provided as needed. Literature research regarding the project of your choice is one of the tasks.
Nice to know
We have a fixed room to meet and work all week. At the moment, this fixed room is at the Nijmegen campus, Molkenboerstraat. We also spend a lot of time in the neighbourhoods and work locations related to your project.
We stimulate a very open learning environment. You will have to get out of your comfort-zone a bit, but this will be in a safe and supportive atmosphere.
