About me
Joost Alleblas studied at Erasmus University Rotterdam, the University of Amsterdam and ESSEC-Paris. He holds a Master's degree in Philosophy and Economics. He is currently pursuing a PhD in philosophy of technology, investigating how new technologies in the smart city influence existing notions of citizenship. Joost has published on Virtual Reality and Nature (2016), Surveillance and Singapore (2017) and presented a Foucauldian analysis of sensor societies (2017). He teaches design ethics in Dessau (Anhalt University of Applied Sciences) and at the design akademie Berlin.
His focus is on ethics in design and the impact of new technologies on society and the individual. He is interested in exploring how philosophy can help designers reflect on the side effects of their innovations and improve their analyses of the future and their place in it. Reflection in practice and the development of (moral) tools to imagine the future are two of his interests in design, alongside understanding how designers see themselves as moral actors. In Berlin, Joost teaches marketing and media ethics, design methodology and research design. He has been working at the Design Akademie since 2015.
Joost Alleblas teaches in the master's programmes Strategic Design and Marketing Communication at the design akademie berlin.

About me
Giving lots of practical insights into the content marketing disciplines is close to my heart. In doing so, I draw a bow to the constantly changing requirements and sharpen the view for the framework conditions and interrelationships. In this way, I would like to give students some tools for their professional future. My professional career is perhaps a good way of documenting the constant change in our industry: Internship at the daily newspaper, traineeship at TV, TV reporter, news anchor, head of department simultaneously for print and online, CvD Bild.de supplement, Teamlead Content Marketing, Scrum Master, Agile Coach...a total of around 35 years of professional experience (and yes, I started writing for the daily newspaper when I was 13). See you around? I'm looking forward to it!

About me
Edda Dietrich, Consultant for Communication and Organisational Development Degree in Communication Science (M.A.), English and Psychology, numerous extensive training courses in systemic organisational consulting, business coaching and project methodology, lecturer in intercultural communication and organisational culture at the design akademie berlin.
In my many years as a communications manager in a global consumer goods company, I developed integrated concepts and strategies for all facets of corporate communications, especially in change processes. As a consultant, I bring this practical knowledge to my clients and use my implementation expertise to help them realise projects in the areas of change management and cultural development. My work is not only centred on clean strategies, processes and effective communication, but rather on a clear understanding of the conditions, experiences and attitudes that influence these factors. In my opinion, people and context are the linchpin of successful consulting. As a Berliner by choice, I enjoy life in the big city and the inspiring art and culture scene, because every recipient wants to be convinced, taken seriously and understood as a complex social being. Painting and drawing help me to find my place in the famous "flow" of the city.

About me
"Detours broaden local knowledge" - this saying probably best describes my life path so far. I have always been passionate about supporting people, building (organisational) structures and actively shaping social change. In my search for suitable forms of expression for these deeply rooted convictions, I have worked in a wide variety of contexts, which has enabled me to gain diverse experience and develop a broad range of expertise in different areas.
After completing a bachelor's degree in economics and an interdisciplinary master's degree in philosophy, politics and economics, I spent five years as the right-hand man of leaders in politics and business and managed special strategic projects. I then worked as a product manager in a coaching training institute, where I set up an online academy and was responsible for product communication. I have been working as a coach, university lecturer and trainer since 2021 - initially on a part-time basis and since February 2024 as a full-time self-employed coach. My current part-time psychology studies deepen my understanding of the psychological aspects in both personal and organisational contexts. In addition, I have been involved at various political levels for 10 years and am now continuing my voluntary work in the German Coaching Association.
In coaching, I follow a systemic-integrative approach that focuses on self-reflection and self-empowerment. I support my clients in finding the right professional (re)direction for them, questioning social norms and expectations, strengthening their own identity and developing effective communication strategies.
