In this episode of The (Re)generative Education Podcast I chat with dr. Kim Poldner, professor Circular Business at The Hague University of Applied Sciences where she is one of four professors of the Mission Zero centre of expertise. She is also the host of the wasted tales podcast where she engages with the lived-experience of products and objects as they enter a circular society. Her expertise lies in organizational studies from an aesthetic perspective and the creation of innovative circular business models that focus on multiple value creation. With particular expertise in circular fashion. In this chat we discuss the importance of play, imagination and creativity for regenerative higher educational practices.  In this discussion the following systemic barriers and opportunities emerged:  The importance of aesthetic and experiential interventions to touch hearts (that lead to transformations.  The importance of magic in the ‘classroom’.  The power of risk taking, and daring to take risks. To see the cracks in the systems and intervene.  The importance of bringing and asking the whole self to be brought to educational spaces The importance of the biophysical environment in which education takes place.  The power of creating a community that is welcoming.  Starting from a place of equality.  Using the genius of the diverse groups in interdisciplinair and international groups.  Bringing the capacity of playing as a valuable form of becoming with the world.  Sewing the seeds in the cracks of the system through play.  External Links:  Kim Poldner (@kimpoldner) • Instagram-foto's en -video's Research Group Circular Business - The Hague University(9) Inaugural Address of professor Kim Poldner - Entrepreneuring a regenerative society - YouTubeMetaal Kathedraalhttps://www.dehaagsehogeschool.nl/onderzoek/kenniscentra/details/kenniscentrum-mission-zero
