BSN News & Jobs - Creativity and Innovation

After a well-deserved spring/Easter break, students and staff have returned to the business of remote learning with (dare I say it) enthusiasm. The wonderful weather has helped.

This week saw a lot of ‘world days’,  including the United Nations World Innovation and Creativity Day. These two attributes are interrelated and difficult to precisely define, hence they are both included. Creativity is not only about artistic expression, it can be creative thinking and problem solving—resulting in innovation.

Our host country is world renowned for their innovation and invention; think, for example, water management and prestigious technical universities. You might also be surprised to learn that wi-fi, bluetooth and the Stock Market were all invented by the Dutch. Historically, the Dutch were pioneers and this spirit seems to be stronger than ever today. Take this list of 6 new, exciting Dutch innovations that will change the way we live for the better.

BSN students are always encouraged to think creatively, work hard, and aspire. Our school vision is to prepare our community to be confident citizens and leaders in tomorrow’s world - constantly curious, pioneering and changing. ‘Mr Creative’, is part of the BSN Character Profile—our shared values system to help guide the attitudes, efforts and future aspirations of all our students.

It may occur that there will be some delay to our recruitment processes. All our recruitment procedures will continue as usual, except for live panel-interviews. All live meetings will be cancelled or postponed, as we do not wish to put any unnecessary pressure on applicants to travel or expose themselves or others. In order to conclude recruitment processes, some vacancy holders may decide to proceed to final interview via video interviews, relevant candidates will be notified.
