What is the Circular Ambassador Program?<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n

In the circular economy, solutions are often spread across the entire value chain. Requiring a combination of collaborations, sustainable (product) design, circular business models and processes, that is often\u00a0complex\u00a0<\/strong>and requires a lot of\u00a0convincing<\/strong>. This demands not only knowledge of the circular economy, but also the skills to turn that knowledge into concrete action and initiate change within organisations. That is why, within the Circular Ambassador Program, we\u00a0train 50 participants to become Circular Ambassadors<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In\u00a07 training days<\/strong>, spread across 3 blocks, we will cover the full design process from problem exploration and conceptualisation to implementation. We not only teach knowledge about the circular economy, but also provide the necessary creative and leadership skills to truly make change happen in your environment. The knowledge and skills acquired are immediately applied to\u00a0concrete cases\u00a0<\/strong>from the field.<\/p>\n

What makes a circular ambassador?<\/strong>\u00a0As an ambassador, we expect you to commit to sharing knowledge, tools and skills that enable and accelerate the transition to a circular economy. You can do this in your own way, in your own context by\u00a0sharing your experiences with, activating and\/or inspiring others<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

For whom?<\/h3>\n

We are looking for people who are eager to make an\u00a0impact\u00a0<\/strong>within their own\u00a0professional environment<\/strong>. Do you have a broad network in which you can share the circular mindset? Are you ready to convince people to move towards a circular value chain? Are you starting work in the near future and would you like to bring a new direction into a company? Or do you bring years of experience to CAP that helps activate others and implement change?<\/p>\n

We are looking for you<\/strong>: Coaches, trainers, consultants, profiles with sustainability functions within the regular- and social economy, entrepreneurs and final-year students.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The program<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

The program consists of\u00a07 training days<\/strong>\u00a0divided into three blocks. Between these blocks, there is one day of\u00a0homework<\/strong>, in preparation for an interim\u00a0coaching session<\/strong>. During the CAP, you are divided into multidisciplinary\u00a0groups\u00a0<\/strong>of five participants. In this group you will work on a demand-driven, topical case within the circular economy, using\u00a0design methods<\/strong>\u00a0taught through an\u00a0interactive and creative process<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What can you expect?<\/h3>\n
