Project leader of the MS Experience ToolkitEducational Game designer 'PIT!'Several years now working with the Experience MS Toolkit which has been succesfully implemented for the MS Vereniging Nederland in 2017.Since then the MS Experience Toolkit has become one of the main features to teach about the problems and challenges people living with MS meet every day and has proven to be the ultimate tool to support the new active face of the MS Vereniging Nederland, the association that is the voice of all 33.000 people with MS in The Netherlands.As it is of high importance for the individual with MS to create awareness of the capriciousness of the disease with family, friends, and co-workers and employers, the aim is to use the toolkit whenever and wherever, at educational level as well as personal level, with professionals and students in Medicine and Care but also peer groups.After successfully working with the MS Experience toolkit for quite a while it was time for the next step: the educational and strategic game PIT! PIT! ('do you have what it takes?') wil add a more playfull note to the MS Experience toolkit, without losing the seriousness of it. Our aim is to expand on the possibilities that the toolkit in combination with educational games and learning opportunities can provide.PIT! is the first step into a new direction, and hopefully a stepping stone for several more interesting projects to come.

What a pandemic taught us (and we knew it already, really): people with chronic illness and limited movement or energy benefit greatly from online contact. Online meetings, seminars and workshops are becoming more and more mainstream. Condition is that it is done well. Webinar hosting and break-out room moderator is a skill that can be learned.
