examples of workshops, lessons and coaching
Het Zuiderlicht College Amsterdam invested in an oven. Teachers were helped with the set-up of the ceramics workshop. This is done with the help of a Learning Lines Lab grant via MOCCA. Participating students received a certificate for their skills. Parents were invited to admire the artworks created. Ceramics are now included in the BEVO programme.

In the first year, students receive 4 ceramics lessons. In the MasterKunstKlas the students can choose 3 ceramic lessons during a carousel of creative lessons.

VMBO Hogelant started with ceramics as talent development. During the summer holidays, workshops were given during a Summerjam week. Subsequently, students of the lower years received 7 ceramics lessons.

At the Framer Framed Foundation, young people in the Molenwijk took part in a ceramics workshop and made treasure chests out of clay together. The workshop over the weekend was part of several meetings where the young people were coached about their future ideas. 

At De Brede school Dalton Spaarndammerhout ceramics is offered as an after-school activity. The school has included ceramics in the Visual Education curriculum and has purchased an oven. Per period, the students can opt for 8-10 ceramics lessons.
