Do you want to make you r education societally engaged, or are you already doing so and want to take it further? Then this session is for you! 

To start t he academic year off well, we are bringing together a growing 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 learn ing 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 tru ly A Broader Mind-proof, going beyond the surface to look at what it actually takes to design education that is transformative for student s. That means grappling with real questions: How do you embed recipro city? How do you create the kind of learning experience that genuinel y challenges students to see themselves in relation to society?

The session includes a short introduction and expert perspectives fr om colleagues at VU who are already doing this work. One of our exper ts is Frederique Demeijer, Assistant Professor of Transformative Lear ning at the Athena Institute and recent recipient of the Comenius Tea ching Fellow grant for her work on embodied learning in transdiscipli nary education.
