BUas sees working towards a more inclusive leisure sector as an important challenge, which needs to be tackled together with representatives of the sector itself. A key requirement for that to be successful is that when designing for leisure practices and facilities, students (and lecturers!) need to look beyond personal preferences (what you like is not necessarily good for everyone), beyond their own physical, sensory or intellectual abilities (what you are capable of doing - seeing - understanding might be inaccessible to others) and their financial capacity (some people might have less - or no - money to spend on leisure). Doing so means to recognise and acknowledge diverse perspectives, backgrounds, motives and possibilities.

Breda Guardians, founded in 2015, is an esports community with the vision of uniting gamers in and around the city of Breda. They have their own gaming and esports facility ‘The HIVE’ located in the Frontier Building of BUas, where students can relax, make friends, and play games – both casually and competitively. Aside from that, Breda Guardians also organises events for its members and students interested in gaming and esports. The community is very diverse - coming from different domains and several schools. Quite a few members of Breda Guardians and visitors of The HIVE are internationals, and it is our goal to make everyone feel welcome and at home, while providing a safe space and having fun.

In our quest to shape education that resonates with the contemporary global world while being sensitive to local culture and context, it is fundamental to look at the integration of international and intercultural dimensions into both formal and informal curricula. Glocal education aims to prepare our students to address complex issues by understanding global ones in different ways of knowing. For that to happen you must foster collaborative and participatory work, engaging a variety of social actors. The international and intercultural approach is highlighted here as it provides contextual diversity and plural solutions for societal challenges. Within this article, I aim to delineate two concepts that have been guiding my work as a learning facilitator in the transformation of classrooms into vibrant learning communities: glocalisation and the pluriverse. These concepts diverge from dominant narratives of globalised development where the focus is on universals. Instead, they present alternative world views and practices that envision an ecologically responsible and socially just global community.

I think it is fair to say that internationalisation in higher education has always been an important aspect in my work. My love for international affairs started in Switzerland, where I was on an Erasmus+ exchange at the University of Bern during my studies. All these different nationalities together, all these different perspectives, I thought were fascinating and inspiring. I still have this fascination after all these years of working in an international environment.

Menig toerist die Nederland bezoekt is verrast over de digitale betalingen terwijl zij met fysieke euro's in de hand staan. In Europa is cash nog steeds populair maar andere vormen van betalen groeien snel.

Met 1,4 miljard internationale toeristische aankomsten wereldwijd in 2024 is het internationaal toerisme hersteld van de ergste crisis in de geschiedenis van de sector. Een meerderheid van de bestemmingen verwelkomde in 2024 meer internationale toeristen dan voor de pandemie, terwijl ook de bezoekersuitgaven sterk bleven groeien. Voor 2025 wordt een groei van 3% tot 5% verwacht.

Vanaf 2 april 2025 moeten Nederlanders die naar het Verenigd Koninkrijk reizen een elektronische reisvergunning (ETA) aanvragen. Hoewel deze nieuwe regelgeving voor extra administratie zorgt, verwachten experts geen grote daling in het aantal Nederlandse toeristen naar het VK.

A Dutch-Belgian delegation specialising in sport and vitality recently visited Copenhagen. Representing Breda University of Applied Sciences, I participated in this delegation to strengthen our international network. Moreover, the programme aligned seamlessly with my professional doctorate studies, which focus on the role urban or street culture can play in the development of future-proof cities. So how do you ensure that leisure activities contribute to a vital, inclusive and attractive city for residents and visitors?

I teach the courses Storytelling and Cultural Narratives, Understanding Leisure and Tourism Attractions and Events, and I supervise qualitative research projects. In 2022, I finished my PhD, and now I am defining my research direction further, which is mostly related to Placemaking, Events, and Storytelling. From 5 to 8 February 2024, I took part in a workshop in Barbados, called Caribbean World Heritage Sites in the light of today’s global challenges: the case of Historic Bridgetown and its Garrison. The workshop was organised by Dr Maaike de Waal from Leiden University in collaboration with UWI (University of the West Indies). Maaike had asked me to participate and deliver a keynote presentation.

In line with BUas’ programme portfolio, international cooperation has always been part of what we do. In 2023 Academy for Leisure & Events (ALE) had 18.6% incoming international students (of 547 students in total) which compares favourably to 2017 when we had 11.8% incoming international students (of 493). This is the number of students who do their entire study programme (bachelor’s or master’s) at our academy, named ’degree- seeking students’ in formal terms. We also welcome incoming exchange students, who only come to study for one semester.

The first encounter with it was through language – the realisation you might find yourself incapable of relating due to the lack of the necessary ’words’, context, culture… and this happened as early as at the age of three (with the Russian comrades we had in kindergarten) or from what I clearly remember somewhere around the age of four or five, when the ’secret’ (due to the communist restrictions at that time) family friends from Germany (DDR) visited us when they came to enjoy the Black Sea in Bulgaria.

In 2017 I arrived in Breda as an international student from Italy, now I have already been working as a lecturer at BUas for 18 months. When I first moved to the Netherlands, I was all set for a cutting-edge, open-minded environment. I had never been here before, and all I knew was the image of the Netherlands as a progressive and innovative country. However, what I found was a whole new level of culture shock - from different social habits and norms, while also realising that cracking into Dutch social circles was tougher than expected. This mostly had me hanging out with other international students who were also trying to find their way, creating our own little bubble of shared experiences.

I am originally from Brazil, a country known for its rich culture and warm people, and my international journey began in 2013 when I moved to Ireland to study English. Living in Dublin for almost a year was my first taste of living abroad, and it sparked a desire in me to explore the world.

De Nederlandse kust dreigt binnen- en buitenlandse toeristen kwijt te raken door oplopende prijzen. Een dagje strand kost al snel 100 euro. Dat zet de concurrentiepositie van de Nederlandse kustregio’s onder druk. De kust kan aantrekkelijk blijven als horecaondernemers inzetten op een betere prijs-kwaliteitverhouding. Dat stelt sectorspecialist Services & Leisure Sjuk Akkerman van ING.
