Hendrik Atze van Doezum combines years of experience in the classroom with his work as a columnist and interpreter, and shows how to really shape learning, innovation and good teaching. With Frisian directness, sharpness and a touch of humor, he gets people thinking and opens the conversation about what is really important in education.

The world of education is complex, but teaching doesn't have to be. Hendrik Atze van Doezum, History Teacher of the Year 2022 & 2023, speaks as a guest speaker on education in the broadest sense of the word

As an educator and professional, with years of experience in secondary education, Hendrik combines his work in the classroom with his role as a columnist for the Leeuwarder Courant and as an interpreter at, among others, News of the Day on SBS6. From this dual position he developed a sharp, historically grounded vision of learning, innovation and educational policy.

With Frisian directness and down-to-earthness, Hendrik takes everyone into a story about what happens when policy becomes leading and teaching disappears into the background. In an interactive manner - sometimes confrontational, always involved and with a good dose of down-to-earth humor - he says just what is needed to loosen up the conversation and get people moving.

His lectures are narrative, relatable and rooted in practice, history and current events. Hendrik wants to inspire everyone to return to the core: teaching well, with knowledge, attention and professionalism. His vision and columns are regularly featured in national and regional media.

In short: if you want to go back to school for a while, get in touch. Who knows, we may all have learned something again today.
