Don’t take things for granted | Jorus Rompa | TEDxAvansUniversity

Jorus Rompa is a Dutch pedagogue from Dongen. He wants to talk about the fact that we often take things for granted. This is a normal human thing, but not in the context which Jorus created with his dear friend and colleague Mark Jonkers (engineer, mechanic and artist). Jorus and Mark set up an independent workspace where youngsters are allowed to work on real assignments for companies but also on there personal development. This is not an regular ‘social workspace’ fund by the goverment or by a big company. They all do the things themself together with the pupils and people who support their mission. So the Tedx letters you see, created by the team of Stronk, have their own story to tell.. Jorus Rompa is a Dutch pedagogue from Dongen. He is combining his passion for humans with the playground of life. But he is not alone. Together with his dear friend and colleague Mark Jonkers (engineer, mechanic and artist) they set up an independent workspace where youngsters are allowed to work on real assignments for companies but also on there personal development. It doesn’t mind if you are a drop-out from school or a creative guy who wants to get to know more about differrent materials. Stronk’ makes beautiful things with beautiful people behind the bounderies of the killing bureaucracy of the Youthcare in Holland. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
