# 6. Do it yourself

‘Students are the urban professionals of the future. They need to combine monodisciplinary, specialist knowledge and skills with extensive 21st-century multi-disciplinary, meta-cognitive skills. This is what Bildung means today.’

Jet Bussemaker
Former Minister of Education, Culture and Science

#### Bildung

The German word Bildung refers to the broad personal education and development of students into conscious, committed individuals. In developing a new syllabus or minor or optional subjects underpinned by Bildung, it is essential to consult reliable theoretical sources.

Now that you have completed this course, you may want to develop teaching materials of your own (on alarming behaviour). Experience shows that the subject combines well with a focus on fundamental rights, inclusion and diversity, but you can of course decide for yourself.

During training courses, we see that teachers experience the same problems in dealing with these issues as they experience in dealing with alarming behaviour. We therefore recommend preparing future professionals for work situations in which they are likely to be confronted by these issues.

In this module we provide a large number of sources with which you can set to work. Some of the ISDEP videos, which can also be accessed through this database, show interviews with adherents to various ideologies. There are also scripted reality videos (including ‘Anna’s World’ and ‘Michael’s Story’) and interviews with experts. We also include an example of a guide for an optional training course for students.

You’ll see that there are many theories about alarming behaviour, including radicalisation. This has become a major social issue in recent years. We also present theories on migration, polarisation, suicide and aggression, which are in principle meant to be used to develop practical teaching materials. If we have missed out sources you believe other teachers could benefit from, please let us know so that we can continue to expand our current database.

### Design a lesson

If you want to put together a lesson or programme on alarming behaviour, the guide below provides a useful starting point. You will find guidelines on structuring lessons and on distributing subjects between them.
