Are you a good writer? Then take out your pen and paper (or laptop) and join the battle on the (digital) page!

Local Rethinker
In Rotterdam we have a book club, in Amsterdam we organized different events and in Nijmegen an event is coming up, but every university needs to be active! Do you have a large network at your university? And are you a people person? We always need local Rethinkers to spread the message and organize, especially in the following cities: Groningen, Tilburg, Utrecht, Nijmegen, Amsterdam and Rotterdam. |
|
Meetup coordinator
We organized an event with Steve Keen, Daniel Mügge and the event The New Economist. Do you like to organize activities like lectures, discussions, movie sessions, drinks, or something else you want to do? Together we can organize events where Rethinkers can meet and discuss new ideas about the economy and economics education. |

Visual architect
To support our ideas we not only need words, but also pictures. Do you like making infographics, well we like you to that for us! |

Researcher
The past year we did a comparative analysis of bachelor curricula in the Netherlands. We are still finishing the project, but we already published the working paper and wrote a piece based on the research for the KVS Preadviezen 2016. Interested in using your research skills to change economic education? Help us with our curriculum research or future surveys! We are planning a teacher and student survey. |
|
Don’t you see your profile in our vacancies? Don’t worry, you still can apply! You might have your own idea how to become active of course, and we would love to hear about it. Let’s think about it together. There are always ways to help, so get involved and sign in on our contact page!
