Utrecht, December 8, 2022 - From Tuesday 24 to Saturday 28 January 2023, after four years of absence, Nationale Onderwijstentoonstelling (NOT) will take place at the Royal Dutch Jaarbeurs. Tens of thousands of education and childcare professionals will gain knowledge and inspiration during the largest event for educators in the Netherlands regarding the latest learning resources, innovations and products. Audrey Wilschut, fair manager: "We look forward to finally being able to inspire education professionals live again in times of high work pressure. Especially now it is important to help the sector take a step forward so that they can make a valuable contribution to the development of the next generation. As a special guest this year we have Princess Laurentien of Orange who will officially open NOT 2023 on Tuesday, January 24 at 10:30 am. We are also giving the stage to well-known top speakers such as Professor Erik Scherder, TedX frontman Jim Stolze and well-known TikTok-Master Jesper."
Theme NOT 2023 'For development and growth'
Princess Laurentien, Minister Dennis Wiersma (primary and secondary education) and well-known TedX front man Jim Stolze will open NOT 2023 in the EdTech College developed especially for the fair. Audrey Wilschut: "This edition is all about development and growth, both of the students and of the education and childcare professionals themselves. The digital transformation within education is an important theme in this. That is why we have set up a special EdTech College, where visitors will receive a complete digital update led by Jim Stolze." Besides the official opening, Princess Laurentien, founder of number 5 foundation and board member of FutureNL, is also involved in the so-called Game Changers Clubhouse. Here, children and adults will engage in a dialogue about the education of today and tomorrow based on 12 current themes. "Children still have very little life experience. But they do have different knowledge and different brainpower than adults, and that is exactly what makes their input so interesting," said Princess Laurentien.
Professor Erik Scherder on the challenge of the brain in times of digitization
NOT 2023 is full of digital education innovations. Audrey Wilschut: "A beautiful development that offers many opportunities to design education even more effectively. But are we still challenged enough if much is already being arranged for us? Is 'making an effort' important for the quality of our brains or is it beneficial to take it easy? These are some of the questions that well-known professor Erik Scherder will address during his challenging lecture on 'Challenge that brain'." Besides Erik Scherder, other well-known top speakers include influencer and author Master Mark, international soccer referee Allard Lindhout and special professor of labor market issues Marc van der Meer.
Making food supply more sustainable in school canteens
Climate and health are also in focus at NOT 2023. "For example, this edition we have set up the special terrace 'The healthy school' in cooperation with Greendish, our regular partner in making the food and drink offerings more sustainable," explains Audrey Wilschut. "On this terrace we offer sustainable, tasty and surprising local and seasonal meals. In this way, we ensure minimal environmental impact and a delicious offering for all visitors. The goal is to make education professionals aware of the possibilities in school canteens, among others, both better for climate and for the health of both teachers and students."
Three exhibition halls packed with education inspiration with hundreds of exhibitors and sessions
NOT 2023 brings all relevant organizations and inspiring speakers within education under one roof. For a future-proof education, leading organizations such as; Zwijssen, Snappet, Blink, CNV, AOB, Dell, CITO, Delubas, Schoolsupport, Lexima, Prowise, Parnasys, Lenovo, Promethean, Stichting Future NL, SLO, Schilte B.V., Van Ee speeltoestellen, Speelmaatje and Nijha are packing big on the exhibition floor.
