Learning & Teaching Festival

Learning & Teaching Festival


A yearly festival that celebrates our success, offering a platform to share lessons learnt. This is an inclusive event bringing together researchers, teaching practitioners, professional services and members of all GBS communities.

About

This year’s festival is hosted by SEBE (Scholarship Excellence in Business Education) and will be an opportunity to discuss effective approaches to learning and teaching by sharing research findings and best practices. The theme of the festival is Business Education - Into the Future, and it will take place on campus.

Our Festival has the following sub-themes:

Relational pedagogies

How these shape our practice as educators (e.g. classroom relations, learning and teaching spaces, digital spaces, digital poverty, challenges, inclusivity, involvement of students in curriculum co-creation, diversity of assessment, feedback, formative assessment)​

Responsible Business Education

Advances and innovations in sustainable and responsible Business Education (e.g. ChatGPT/AI, supporting the health and wellbeing of staff and students, driving climate action, developing ethical and work-ready graduates)

The L&T Festival will bring together presentations showcasing best practices and innovation in teaching, as well as results of ongoing pedagogic research carried out by colleagues. The event will be enriched by keynote speakers and networking opportunities.
