News - 27 May 2020 - Communication

On Wednesday 20 May ID Education announced the winners of the Pluim Awards. This annual celebration of the most inspiring teachers and most valued employees was reinvented by the student committee in a format suitable for social distancing: a lively online radio show.

The 90 minute show featured emotional reactions from the nominees and the winners, as well as great music in the form of a playlist made up of the winners' favourite songs. The show concluded with a 30 minute DJ set by the IDE teacher trio – DJ Jeroen van Erp, DJ Dirk Snelders and DJ Erik Jan Hultink. Relive the jubilation and disappointments by listening to the show here.
