Bijzonder om te lezen hoe deze VR-ervaring mensen raakt en aan het denken zet. Dank Vincent Roozen voor deze mooie reflectie op onze simulatie. Juist dat besef - hoe snel financiële problemen kunnen ontstaan en hoeveel impact voortdurende stress heeft op het dagelijks leven - is precies waarom we deze ervaring hebben ontwikkeld. Niet alleen om erover te praten, maar om het ook echt even te voelen en te ervaren. De VR-simulatie is vandaag en morgen nog te bezoeken in Den Haag, en er zijn nog enkele plekken beschikbaar voor deelnemers. Iedereen is welkom om mee te doen.

Working together on accessibility
Collaboration with BISS helped us take a fresh look at a complex process like the social assistance application. By bringing together behavioral scientists, data scientists, and policymakers under the guidance of a design thinking facilitator, we developed an approach that is both human-centered and data-driven. Thanks to this interdisciplinary collaboration, we were able to truly take steps toward a simpler, clearer, and more accessible application process for our residents.
