More about JDR Festival
The Job Demands-Resources approach, worldwide the dominant toolkit for motivation and wellbeing at work, turns 25! And all of the brilliant thinkers who have made this happen will be there! You will hear all the very latest about work engagement and proactive work behaviour from research and practice. You will be able to meet 500 likeminded researchers and practitioners and exchange ideas, views and experiences in an inspired, interactive and playful manner. We will do our utmost to ensure you will have a genuinely good time doing so, feeling like you are at a real festival!
We are currently building an engaging programme, which will leave ample opportunity for listening in awe to the world’s top scientists in this field (and meeting them in person!) as well as for roaming around the festival terrain in order to discover that neat little tent where a practitioner demonstrates an ingenious new way to foster flow, work engagement or proactive work behaviour.
The programme will start on Wednesday 19 with a couple of inspiring, short key notes in a plenary session. Then, the festival terrain will be opened and you can participate in or facilitate scientific, practical, business-oriented or creative sessions, discussions and demonstrations of various sizes, in a wide variety of settings. After hours of soaking up great ideas we will enjoy great streetfood together and, later in the evening, celebrate during our Flow Party!
The next day will be full of interesting workshops and masterclasses, which you can select beforehand. The end of the festival will be a joint lunch and a closing act you will not lightly forget!
So: come and spend a couple of days of your time with us! This will turn into one of the best investments you’ve made in yourself and the people you work for. Come with high expectations and travel back safely. Fulfilled, inspired and full of great new plans to change the world of work!
