You also read, think and dream with the help of language. The Dutch language is not particularly beautiful, nor is it a language of world importance, but when you grow up with it, it is \u2018home\u2019. Literature offers the opportunity to reflect on ideas and feelings about yourself and the world around you. Dutch literature is cultural heritage, and it invites you to look beyond borders and dive into \u2018world\u2019 literature.<\/p><p>I was introduced to the International Baccalaureate in 1997, and all my ideas about education fell into place. I became an \u2018all round\u2019 IB Dutch teacher, also supervised IB Dutch students abroad and was supervisor at an international school for what is now called the SSST program.<\/p><p>In 2000 I founded IBID, the first organization worldwide that exclusively engaged in IB Dutch \u2018self-taught\u2019. The approach of that time is still the guiding principle today: IBID wants to be a safe haven and a learning experience for Dutch-speaking IB students who feel like citizens of the world and who are proud to be part of the Dutch-speaking community.<\/p><p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-643 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ibid.education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Josephine-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"510\" height=\"808\" \/><br \/><i>Josephine Franken, director IBID, 7 years old<\/i><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a young girl I made plans for the grown-up life: I would read books, teach and explore the world.
