Creative Business HU

💡 96% van onze deelnemers geeft aan gegroeid te zijn door BikeFlip – in zelfvertrouwen, vaardigheden en geluk. 😊 🚲 Samen onderweg naar impact: BikeFlip 2022-2024 🌍 Met het jaar bijna achter ons kijken we terug op wat we samen hebben bereikt. ⌛ Bij BikeFlip draait het om kinderfietsen een tweede kans geven én mensen helpen groeien. 🌱 Dankzij onze community hebben we de afgelopen twee jaar: 🌍 6.000+ kinderfietsen geupcycled, goed voor minder afval en CO2-uitstoot. 👨🔧 28 mensen hebben via leer-werktrajecten hun weg gevonden naar betaald werk, vrijwilligerswerk of opleidingen. Zoals één van onze deelnemers zegt: ''Werk hier is goed. Ik kan hier ervaring opdoen, goed leren en ook als ik een probleem heb kan ik erover praten. Er wordt goed naar mij geluisterd.'' 💚 Onze werkplaats is méér dan een plek voor fietsen; het is een plek waar kansen ontstaan, talent wordt ontdekt en mensen elkaar steunen. 🗣️ Benieuwd naar alle verhalen en resultaten?

🌏 The Future of Education: Empowering Curiosity, Courage, and Collaboration Today I attended #Studiekeuzebeurs Midden to introduce Creative Business HU to future talents. Reflecting on my own journey — travelling from #China to #Europe to study European Studies, career development in international environmental organisation, international newsrooms and digital media industries, venturing out on digital innovation and consultancy — I see education as more than knowledge transfer. It’s about shaping real future change-makers. Over the years, I've had the privilege of navigating diverse fields. These experiences have shown me that the future of education lies not just in what we teach, but in how we inspire: ✅ Curiosity: To explore uncharted territories and challenge the status quo. ✅ Courage: To step out of comfort zones, overcome biases, embrace uncertainty, and tackle global issues.  ✅ Collaboration: To work across borders, cultures, disciplines (even beyond ideologies) for a shared and sustainable future on planet earth.  🌟 In the midst of paradigm shift, as we look ahead, I believe education will be the key driver of transformative change. It’s about equipping young minds and beating hearts not just with skills but with the mindset to co-design solutions and co-create future.  Let’s keep fostering spaces where cultures connect and ideas flourish. #FutureOfEducation #CreativeBusiness #SystemThinking #Leadership #DigitalTransformation #DataEmpowerment #Innovation #GlobalCollaboration #Sustainability #Empowerment #ChangeMakers

It's the start of my graduation project for Creative Business HU! I have the delight to be working with Silver Heron Studios for this assignment. My project is to help the company with any key aspects of their business and help improve the business. In a way, I'm an acting consultant. This week is the empathising stage and Creative Business really want me to be in the company's shoes. Silver Heron are more than happy for the students to visit the office and work in the office, and so I am taking this opportunity to really be in their shoes. If I'm going to be a consultant, I need to know what it's like from the ground up to give a proper analysis. I have asked to be involved with anything and everything, from their printing, cutting, painting or even cleaning the machines. I'm so looking forward to getting to know the team and business more from the inside this week!

"Creativity is not a destination, it's a journey." That’s the motto my teammates - Marnix Egter van Wissekerke, Alec Van Allermeersch - and I have always drawn inspiration from as we developed OnTop Music, a platform designed to empower independent and self-funded musicians. Our goal is to give talented artists the opportunity to monetize their music and attract attention from record labels based solely on their skills. This project is part of our Innovation Leadership course at Hogeschool Utrecht. We’ve integrated an anonymous voting system that collects data, votes, and real-time feedback from a diverse network of music critics and enthusiasts around the world. This ensures that songs are evaluated purely on their artistic merit. We've also consulted with financial experts and record label representatives to explore the potential and viability of our business model. Excitingly, we are now preparing to put our idea to the test by participating in the Dutch Creativity Awards. This week, we’ll be pitching to a panel of experts in the first round of the competition. Special thanks to our mentor, Shonali Shetty, for guiding us through Innovation Leadership, and to Lianne Bergeron, who will support us in our journey towards the Dutch Creativity Award. If you have any questions, ideas, feedback, or thoughts, feel free to reach out at [email protected].

💫 First Month Working in a Blockchain Company 💫 In the past month at Klayr Labs, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to dive into the world of blockchain. Starting with little knowledge of the field, I embraced the challenge and quickly adapted, gaining hands-on experience along the way. I had the chance to work on different impactful projects, such as: 🔹 Conducting in-depth competitor research and benchmarking community engagement strategies. 🔹 Optimising website visibility through Yoast SEO and tagging reviews in WordPress. 🔹 Creating evergreen content pieces and video for social media platforms. 🔹 Writing and sending a press release to media contacts at the European Blockchain Convention. 🔹 Updating the content for Klayr’s new website. 🔹 Exploring verification platforms to implement an Official Verification Center. 🔹 Building connections with professionals across the globe to foster collaboration and expand Klayr's reach. Klayr has motivated me to pursue my dream of starting my own business by showing me the passion and dedication the team has for this project. They approach their work with genuine passion, seeing it as much more than just a job. That’s the kind of career I aspire to have—one that is rooted in passion and purpose. #Blockchain #Marketing #Internship #Learning #Growth #Klayr #Challenges #startup
