“…According to him, individuals are perfectly able to establish order in an improvising manner-not in a traditional sense, specifically based on shared values and beliefs, but centered on societal relevant features or themes (cf. Hajer 2003;Broer, Hoogland, and Van der Stoep 2017). This raises the question of whether common ground can currently be found at the constitutive side-i.e., a perspective on what a certain practice should be aiming at-rather than at the regulative side of a practice-i.e., the guiding control beliefs of the practitioners.…”

The network society is generally challenging for today’s communication practitioners because they are no longer the sole entities responsible for communication processes. This is a major change for many of them. In this paper, it will be contended that the normative practice model as developed within reformational philosophy is beneficial for clarifying the structure of communication practices. Based on this model, we argue that government communication should not be considered as primarily an activity that focuses on societal legitimation of policy; rather, it focuses on clarifying the meaning of the actions of the government. If the government can convincingly answer the question about the reason for their actions, societal legitimation will subsequently follow. Hence, it is argued that government communication is primarily linguistically qualified.

“…Inherent to the concept of a practice is that it ensures "supporting cohesion": it provides a common ground-for instance, shared ideas about how to act, and cross-links between practitioners with different value systems (cf. Broer, Hoogland, and Van der Stoep 2017).…”

In the terminology used by Gadamer ([1975], 2004), my PhD research is about 'outside science' which, in this context, means that my aim is not to consider individual experiences as statements of general rules or confirmations and refutations of general laws (cf. Oudemans, 1988). In this sense, my goal is not a generalisation of research data but an attempt to identify links that contribute to a better understanding of natuurbeelden and the role that religious elements play in the communication about nature. 1.5 OUTLINE OF THE THESIS As mentioned at the beginning of this chapter, in this PhD thesis I examine the communication about nature in the Netherlands, in particular searching for (implicit) religious elements in this communication. To summarize and as a reading guide, based on a literature study in the second chapter, I examine the question of the extent to which the new perception of the relationship between government and other parties influences the discourse about the nature policy in the Netherlands. Therefore, a comprehensive review of communication is necessary. As a consequence, in my second chapter, I also briefly address the question: what is government communication? The third chapter aims to further clarify the structure of government communication practice. An answer is sought to the question of whether the model of normative practice, as developed within the reformational philosophy, is beneficial for clarifying the task of government communication practitioners. The fourth chapter begins with a socio-historical overview of the Dutch nature policy. Based GENERAL INTRODuCTION 23 22 1.5 OuTLINE OF ThE ThESIS

Education is an integral component of society and is inherently linked to the changes occurring within it. This article discusses four significant developments (globalization, localization, individualization, and collectivization) examining both the threats they pose to education and the opportunities they offer. Additionally, it explores how education can navigate its strengths and weaknesses in relation to these societal shifts. A central theme in this article is the content of the curriculum, which may come under pressure if schools respond too impulsively to contextual changes. The analyses in this article are grounded in the right of children to receive adequate education, as outlined in various international treaties and charters. Adequate education is understood as education where the curriculum sufficiently contributes to the achievement of educational goals. It is recommended that, while considering a country's legal provisions, educational objectives be carefully considered and the curriculum, particularly in terms of content, be aligned accordingly.
