To what extent do we take the knowledge and experience of children and students seriously? Is there room to use that knowledge within education? And how does that work when it comes to young people with chronic conditions?
What changes does experiential knowledge bring to education?
By shifting the perspective from ‘I pose a problem’ to ‘I add value’, the experiences of students with chronic conditions can be transformed into expert knowledge. This way, personal experience proves to be a valuable contribution to education.
Peer Station
The mobile PeerStation is the place where they jointly create educational and support tools for primary and secondary education. In the creation process, the teacher and student need each other. It doesn't matter who takes the initiative. In one case it is the student who stands up and says 'I want something with this', in the other case it is the teacher. The initiator then looks for space (applicability, credits, paid hours) to create their own application. To want and be able to do that, they need each other. In the collaboration they sense the urgency to give shape to that which is often invisible.
“A lot is not visible, but it is there. But it really shouldn't matter whether a (chronic) condition is visible or not. It is about the interpretation we give to the conversation about this.”
