"The Education Days are a great platform to meet, to exchange, to learn with each other and from each other.
They're for, by, and with the community.”
Ellen Bastiaens, EDLAB director
The UM Education Days bring together staff and students from across the university to exchange ideas, explore new approaches, and learn from one another. Over two days, the programme combines workshops, interactive sessions and informal moments that invite participants to engage with teaching and learning in different ways.
New this year is the Deep thoughts and dilemmas session. These small, discussion-based conversations will focus on questions that do not have straightforward answers, such as the role of AI in education or how to support student learning without overguiding. Participants will exchange experiences, test ideas and reflect on the tensions that shape everyday teaching.
On the second day, the breakfast lecture will look at the historical roots of the university. We'll learn how universities first emerged, how knowledge was organised and taught, and what these origins can still tell us about education today. The session will offer a different lens on current debates and invite participants to connect past and present in their own teaching practice.
Throughout the event, the Game Arcade will give participants the chance to try out educational games and formats developed by colleagues.
We have aimed to create a programme that balances practical ideas with time to reflect, and encourages participants to learn from each other and take insights back into their own courses. We look forward to welcoming you!
For any inquiries, please feel free to contact the UM Education Days team at EDLAB, where Oscar, Lena, Mathilda, Marie-Lou and Sueli will be happy to assist you.
