- Stay up to date on current trends: thanks to modernism, most of the content is now known. This content can be directly delivered to students so that they can give a neoliberalist twist to it.Students have a great absorbent capacity and do not have to reinvent the (modernist) wheel. It is already there, so we can get to work.In modern times, changes accelerate. Without improvisation we are nowhere.Only with sufficient knowledge and an open participational attitude, we can responsibly improvise.Participation and support for governmental decisions go hand in hand.Because both politics and fear of change in your environment have a short term and a short action-radius, it is up to the student of the future to be able to deal with this nimbly with the long-term knowledge and the grand scale.Integrally thinking and improvising students are the future.Education programs in spatial planning should train two types of students: the connecting participation artist and the aesthetic idealist.Communicative and connectivequalities are a new requirement within planning processes.Not the conceptually best plan, but the most broadly supported plan is the best. Teachers are trained according to the first ideology, but students will need to be prepared for the second one. For some teachers, this can be difficult.Educational programs should also offer evening classes to inhabitantparticipation groups for extra awareness of responsibilities.
