Student group’s challenge

“Students wanted to come up with something so that children who are in the hospital for long periods of time could still have contact with their pets. The students came up with all kinds of ideas, and the bottom line was that none of their ideas were possible. […] The students were very disappointed. [...] That did something to them, especially because these students felt that they found the egg of Columbus several times in six weeks” [T6 long-term hospital visit].

Teaching activities

“At one point, I noticed that the students were a bit worn out. [...] I asked them then how they (students) were feeling. The students said, ‘yes, I hate to say it, but it does affect my motivation’. I replied by telling the students that it was good of them to say this, because that is why I asked about it, and it is very normal that this happens. So that is a bit of normalizing that I do. I also work with the students to see how they can take the next step” [T6 long-term hospital visit].
