An invitation to our post-Bumblekite interviews
We would also like to take this opportunity to invite you to join us for our post-Bumblekite interviews in the November - December time frame.
These conversations are an opportunity to reflect on your Bumblekite experience with a few months of a distance, after many of the initial impressions have settled.
If you would like to submit this form anonymously and participate in the post-Bumblekite interviews, please email us your interest to participate on bumblekite-team@four-corp.com.
Your feedback in action
We sincerely care about the feedback we are given and work on acting upon it with the care and thoughtfulness that your effort and words deserve.
After the post-Bumblekite interviews, we will summarise all the data we have gathered. This includes your excellent feedback you’ve already given us in your application and registration forms, your daily reflections during the event, insights from this form as well as the interviews.
We will publish our insights in the “lessons learned from 2025” webpage.
This webpage will be standing on the shoulders of the lessons learned from 2022, 2023 and 2024, based on the feedback of the respective cohorts.
If you have any additional suggestions or thoughts, you can always reach out to us on bumblekite-team@four-corp.com.
The form will take you approximately 60 minutes to complete.
Please submit this form by the 1st of November 23:00 CET.
We have chosen this date so we can take your feedback into account when planning our virtual revision sessions.
We will go through and read every feedback submission.
Thank you once again for taking the time.
Have a wonderful rest of your autumn,
Anja and the Bumblekite team
A suggestion and example on how to give feedback
To help maximise the value and impact of your feedback, as well as to have this feedback form be another small bit of our Bumblekite learning experience, we are providing you with a suggestion and an example of thereof on how to give feedback.

Suggested feedback structure
Situation: While sharing your feedback, please describe the time, place, and the situation in which the behavior or action you are addressing occurred.
Behavior: Describe the observed behavior of the people involved in the situation (Bumblekite team, curriculum partners, other participants, yourself).
Impact: Describe how the behavior under the corresponding circumstances affected your thoughts, feelings and actions.
Suggestion: Do provide a suggestion on how the behaviour could have been changed under the circumstance, and what are the more positive impacts these would have on both you and other people involved.
If you had a virtual office hours meeting with a lecturer, and the following question is in the feedback questionnaire:
How focused was the lecturer during your conversation? If applicable, which behaviors made you think or feel the lecturer was distracted or not paying enough attention?
The following can be an example for writing about the (invented) situation:
Situation: During the second half of our online meeting, a cat entered the lecturer’s room.
Behavior: Since then, the lecturer continued looking at and petting the cat with occasional whispering. I observed far less attention from the lecturer to what I was saying and the lecturer asked fewer questions. The lecturer did not give any explanation of the behavior and ended the meeting at the planned time.
Impact: I felt ignored and slightly insulted, because to me, the lecturer’s behavior meant that the cat’s spontaneous need for attention is much more important than the question about my research that I was working on for the last several months.
In the long-run, the lecturer might give many participants like me the impression of being dismissive and that what the participants have been working on for years do not matter.
Suggestion: As an animal lover myself, I appreciate the lecturer’s love for the cat.
However, it would be great to have the lecturer’s full attention during our meeting time.
If the charm of the cat was too irresistible, or if the cat had medical needs, the lecturer could have asked for a pause and give the explanation of the above-described behavior, then compensate the time lost with extra time or another meeting.
