Do you want to make your education societally engaged, or are you already doing so and wa nt to take it further? Then this session is for you!
To start the academic year off well, we are bringing together a grow ing network of educators at VU who share a commitment to meaningful, societally engaged teaching on 8 September 12:00 - 13:00. "CSL presents: A Broader Mind in Practice" is designed not just as a learning session, but as a space where colleagues can find each other, see who else is working on this, and keep lines short.
Together we explore how Community Service Learning can help make your course truly A Broader Mind-proof. We will go beyond the surface to look at what it actually takes to design education that is transforma tive for students. That means grappling with real questions: How do y ou embed reciprocity? How do you create the kind of learning experien ce that genuinely challenges students to see themselves in relation t o society?
The session includes expert perspectives from collea gues at VU who are already doing this work. One of our speakers is Ma rijke Visser, who is finalising her thesis on topics such as reciproc ity and community involvement.
