Impact at the Core | the Podcast

Deze podcast is in het Nederlands - Te gast zijn Wijkmanager Nasra Djorai & Associate professor en Medical Psychologist Sam Riedijk. Het intellect in de samenleving komt samen bij de EUR, maar wat doen we er mee? Gaan we de oordeel-app aanzetten en weten we het beter of zijn we echt gedreven het verschil te maken in de samenleving en gaan we naar de samenleving toe? Over Rotterdam Zuid, de CultuurCampus, halen en brengen, onderwijs in relatie tot de wijk en echt samen impact maken. 

Guest of this episode is Dr. Silvan Licher, Clinical epidemiologist and researching 'multimorbidity'. If someone has several permanent illnesses at the same time, we use a difficult word of 'multimorbidity'. For his new study, Licher is studying the medical records of nearly eight thousand people from the Rotterdam district of Ommoord. They have been participating in ERGO, a large population survey of Erasmus MC, since 1989. This makes it easy to see when and in what order they became ill. Dr. Silvan Licher is therefore a scientist who strongly involves patients in his own research. 

He is also involved in the development of ErasmusArts2030 at the Erasmus Medical Center. With ErasmusArts2030 we want to adapt the curricula and educate the students in a broader way that also enables their societal engagement and prepares them for technological advancements. 

Let’s talk about socio-digital inequality! We live in a time of fast-paced digitization and online communication, but what about the accessibility of our brave new world? How high is the threshold to participate for non-native speakers or people who have trouble finding their way on a computer?  

In this episode, we speak with Jiska Engelbert and Els Leclerq, initiators of the Tackling Inequalities honours programme. The course revolves around identifying a so-called urgency, which – contrary to a problem – allows for a much more flexible approach, without jumping to solutions that may in fact target the wrong issue or even reinforce the inequalities. Listen to the episode to hear how this mode of education impacts student and society! ‘They perceived it as a real mind fuck.’
