Bella Funck new board member at Beckmans

Wants to modernize and accelerate learning in companies

"Today I run a company called Colearn. We are modernizing and accelerating learning in companies. Much is about letting go of the traditional approach of learning only through class teaching and instead seeing how to strengthen learning by using different methods and techniques. For this, we have developed a methodology called Hybrid Learning Methodology," says Bella Funck.

"We are also working to increase learning ability and learning culture in companies. Our old study technique, which we got from elementary school, was very much about memorizing the facts and answering correctly based on a conclusion, but today in working life that study technique is outdated. Now we rather need to have a learning ability that helps us develop new abilities, as well as to manage new technologies and constant change, she continues.

Broad background – from creator to global development manager

Prior to starting Colearn, Bella Funck worked as global development manager at Hyper Island. Basically, she is a trained creator and has previously worked as an illustrator, Art Director and Creative Director at, among others, tech startup Stardoll and digital advertising agency Farfar. 

"I think it will be fantastically educational and exciting to work with everyone at Beckmans. It is a fantastic school with a strong brand and with the little interaction I have had so far, I experience a huge passion for the craft, the students and the school.
