School | Living Lab | Circular bakery
Put your hands to work in our circular bakery. Engage all your senses as you collaborate, experiment, and learn with us to reconnect with the artisan past and shape a future that makes more sense.
Your Excel sheets might hide that small spark of insight that can genuinely move things forward.
Each loaf baked in our bakery contains a small portion of old bread. This not only allows us to reuse old bread, it also improves the taste and prolongs the shelf life of new loaves.
We already reuse all of our leftover bread. Now, we’re tackling a new challenge: using leftover fibres from fruit pulp to create new applications and integrate them into assignments for our clients.
We develop workshops and training programs rooted in creative thinking. The challenge is to reduce food waste, create healthier products, and improve flavour. We also show that this method of innovation can be applied in other domains. We test our innovations in the Baking Lab café, an informal place to engage the public in our mission.

Change Perception, Care and Make a Difference
At the heart of our training program is a simple question: How can we bring more balance to the way we use our senses, make common sense common again, and use our vast knowledge and capabilities not to harm the environment and our communities, but to respect and strengthen them?
Too often, we rely on sight and hearing, while ignoring our more earthy senses, smell, touch, and tast. By reintegrating these often overlooked senses into the design of creative, circular processes, we explore different ways to uncover “hidden” and frequently wasted opportunities to connect the dots.
During our workshops and trainings, we utilise the artisan space to experiment with unconventional ways of reconnecting with these opportunities in surprising and innovative ways. This approach is not only inspirational but also provides guidance for navigating the complex challenges of our time.
Sustainable change doesn’t necessarily have to rely on major technological transformations. It can also start with a small, noticeable shift at the individual level and grow into a genuine, lasting, and expanding impact.
A Compass, Not a Checklist
You don’t leave our workshops and training programs with a checklist to quickly solve the social and environmental challenges of our time. You leave with a compass that guides you to ask better questions.
