IMC Weekendschool
IMC Weekendschool prepares young people for the most important step after school: making choices about their future based on their own talents and interests.
The education concept Expedition to the Future helps young people to discover who they are, what they can do and what choices fit with this. The objective is to enable young people from all different levels of education and all social backgrounds to make well-founded choices and take their place in society. Lessons from passionate professionals help them expand their horizons, grow their self-confidence, and strengthen their connection with society.
A visit in Amsterdam
One Sunday, we visit the weekend school in Amsterdam North, during lessons on ‘Advertising yourself’ and ‘What’s it like to be a children’s doctor’. Trainee pediatrician Ingmar is teaching the class. “What do you have to be able to do to become a children’s doctor?”, he asks. A pupil looks troubled. “You need to be able to handle seeing blood.”
