■ Agnes Turner & Reijer Jan van ’t Hul
After the ANSE board was elected during the General Assembly in Budapest in October 2018, we had to divide tasks into our portfolio. We took a whole day in January to do this and Agnes put her name immediately at this task but Reijer Jan didn’t feel any challenge to write or to publish articles. Reijer Jan checked what tasks he really would like to do, but also posted his name to tasks with not so many names on it. And now one of his main tasks is the ANSE-journal. In this case it is the same as it is with education, you have to step out of your comfort zone, to learn something, and that is what Reijer Jan did and we decided to work for ANSE journal in a team and continue this successfully!
In the first place we want to thank Barbara Baumann for all the efforts that she made, starting the ANSE-journal from scratch and now there is a group of national editors, a nice-looking Journal and the goal to publish ANSE-journal twice a year. Also, the topics for the next four editions are set, so it was not that hard to take over this task until now. Barbara, you put the standards high and we will do what we can do to keep this Journal alive, thank you very much.
Within the last General Assembly of ANSE the topics quality and education were on the top of the list. Delegates and presidents for the member countries stated that these are all over Europe main issues within the national organization. The contains revising quality standards in educational programs for Supervision and Coaching but also learning about and implementing new and broader approaches of supervisory skills and competences in educational programs and lifelong learning settings such as intervision groups or conference. Talking about conference, in line with the topic education the first conference on Teaching Supervision and Coaching took place in Frankfurt in November 2018. In this edition of the ANSE-journal you can find an article about reflection on the first ANSE conference about Teaching Supervision and Coaching written by Ineke Riezebos. It was an inspiring conference and we set the goal to organize a conference again in spring 2022. The other articles are from Switzerland, The Netherlands, Ukraine, Hungary, Latvia, Estonia and this provides a nice map of how supervision and coaching is taught in Europe. We get a great overview on the differences and the similarities in the programs throughout Europe and the diversity is also visible in the different points of view, from supervision, coaching, intervision and meta-supervision. Great thanks go again to Gerian Dijkhuizen for writing the ANSE column – this time about the practices of lifelong learning.
Behalf of the ANSE board and all national editors we wish you a joyful and fruitful time reading the journal. ■
