Suppose you want to find a solution to a challenging social problem. Then you often quickly come to the conclusion that this requires bringing together different areas of expertise: transdisciplinary cooperation, in other words. But how do you go about this? Who should you involve, and what are pitfalls to watch out for? Our lecturer Godelieve Spaas contributed knowledge and experience to create the Practical Guide to Transdisciplinary Working by The Green Brain and Community Social Circular.

The guide provides practical tips and tools rooted in a broad scientific basis. Thus, the guide helps process facilitators, researchers, transition brokers and other change agents on their way in realising a transition. Place de Kleine Aarde is the example project that Godelieve Spaas and Geert Van Der Veer explain in the guide. Here, farmers, scientists, financiers, government and residents work together on food and farming system transition.

Godelieve Spaas: ‘If you want to change a system, working transdisciplinarily is not a choice but a precondition. You need everyone and all disciplines to get it done. Not only scientific knowledge, but also practical and experiential knowledge and artistic and indigenous knowledge contribute to change.’
