The main goal of the expertise centre is to realise a learning, researching culture at SintLucas. This is conditional for the leading education we want to offer.
Since 2022, SintLucas has been building an expertise centre. It consists of the practorate and learning labs in which teacher researchers and researchers work together, educational advice and quality and making places at both SintLucas locations. It is a part of the school where we inspire each other, where we professionalise for life, where we connect internally and externally and where we find answers to the issues we face in an inquisitive way. Any colleague or educational partner interested in this can seek cooperation.

In this project, SintLucas will strengthen and accelerate the path it has already embarked upon to create an investigative, learning culture. SintLucas aims to distinguish itself as a leading educational institution.
In forming a CTL, SintLucas is being guided by Npuls, a national organisation of vocational, higher professional and university education institutions. Npuls supports educational institutions in creating infrastructures and networks, sharing knowledge, experimenting with pilots and developing solutions and products to support digital learning and teaching.
With the additional investments from the CTL scheme, SintLucas aims to achieve the following goals:
ensuring that our employees can professionalise and develop, for example through training courses, joint conference visits or a library for professional literature;developing more and more intensive collaborations to learn from and with other schools on topics such as didactics, pedagogy and digitisation;bringing together colleagues who are working on similar issues in the field of educational development, innovation and research, for example around new future-oriented courses such as Immersive Solutions;conducting practical research together, supporting employees in experimenting and researching in their teaching, for example in the form of testing grounds.
SintLucas Knowledge Festival
One of the examples of how we realise researching, learning culture within SintLucas is the annual SintLucas Knowledge Festival. The knowledge festival is designed to learn and inspire from each other. Many employees are engaged in interesting research, themes and learning labs. The insights from these can be brought back to education by others. Watch the Aftermovie of the Knowledge Festival:
