About the facilitators

In this workshop, the Centre of Expertise for Creative Innovation (CoECI) and Actiz, two partners of the Embassy of Inclusive Society, join forces.

As a professor of Cultural Heritage, Hester Dibbits is affiliated with the Reinwardt Academy at the Amsterdam University of the Arts. She seeks to bridge the gap between the academic world and everyday practices.

Rosa Mul is a researcher at the Cultural Heritage professorship and focuses on further developing the conversation method.

CoECI is the national knowledge and innovation network for the creative industry, using art, design, digital media, and technology to create a sustainable, inclusive, and participatory urban society.
