Learning network facility management in schools
For the next two years, we offer the learning network 'Sustainable and professional facility management in schools', which is open to all educational institutions in Flanders. We do this by order of the Flemish Department of Education & Training and thus contribute to sustainable learning environments. Inspiration, discovery and activation are central and provided through a diverse mix of theme days, school visits and do-sessions. Become part of our learning network and contribute to sustainable schools in Flanders.
Challenge
Schools experience various challenges in the sustainable and efficient management of energy, ventilation, maintenance of installations or buildings, safety, green maintenance, purchase of furniture, cleaning, catering, waste management, etc. Time and resources are limited and on top of that, these topics evolve rapidly and expectations are often high.
In order to support Flemish schools in this, the Flemish Department of Education & Training decided to create a learning network, in line with the Master Plan School Building 2.0. The next two years will thus be invested in the learning network 'Sustainable and professional facility management in schools'. The goal is to support schools in making their facilities management more sustainable and efficient.
Learning network
We offer a learning network in which educational institutions get excited about sustainable facility management through inspiring and realistic examples, in which they can learn from each other and from experts in sustainable facility management in educational institutions and which offers a springboard to actively apply sustainable facility management in their own schools. In all this, we strive to give participants the opportunity to network with educational institutions facing the same challenges.
This is done by sharing knowledge, networking, inspiring and providing practical tools. A mix of theme days, seminars, school visits and active do-sessions make up a varied agenda. Each activity focuses on one or more aspects of sustainable and professional facilities management. The learning network is completely free and open to all educational institutions in Flanders.
Sustainable FM scan
The Sustainable FM scan provides a simple way to gain insight into where an educational institution stands in terms of sustainable FM. The scan focuses on the most common aspects of sustainable FM in a school environment and uses simple questions and a self-analysis to map the current situation. In this way, the educational institution gains insight into where the pain points and strengths are in their own school. This insight can help to make choices among the wide range and activities and themes offered within the learning network.
