Review of the 2024 Festival of Teaching
The Digital Teaching teams in the Schools (BU, GSW, ING, MN) organized the Festival of Teaching on 6 November 2024 with the support of the Vice-Rectorate Education and the Center for Interdisciplinary Learning and Teaching. The Festival of Teaching was a complete success and attracted 95 committed participants. The event provided a lively platform for the exchange and further development of university teaching. Proven program formats such as content-related inputs and panel discussions offered valuable insights and opportunities for discussion.
New to the program were innovative offerings such as an escape room, which generated a lot of enthusiasm. This interactive activity not only encouraged teamwork and problem-solving skills among the participants, but also brought a welcome playful component to the festival. Participants were able to enjoy the inspiring discussions and new ideas for teaching in a relaxed atmosphere. Mocktails, music and delicious food helped to ensure that everyone felt comfortable and had the opportunity to chat informally. The positive response and the lively exchange among the participants show that the Festival of Teaching is an important platform for the exchange and further development of university teaching.
