In this minor, you will work with a variety of courses to choose a social issue under supervision. You will learn to build a community with relevant stakeholders who recognize the problem (a coalition of the willing) and want to move it forward.

The minor ACT recognizes 3 phases:
- In the first phase of 3/4 weeks we guide you to find a challenge that touches you as a person. To find this personal subject you also must deepen several subjects.
- In the semester's middle phase, you will focus on the (social) enterprises that experience the same problem. This is your coalition of the willing.
- Your ultimate goal is to create impact. Impact that does not end when your minor is finished. How to create impact will be in alignment with your coalition of the willing.
Ofcourse a super team of teachers and researchers will be present to guide you through the process.
