At teaching conferences, we very often talk about active learning, about giving learners space to engage, about the added value of actively discovering a topic. And at the very same teaching conferences we very often sit through hours of presentation, spending too little time on exchanging, discussing or experimenting. This time is different. The 2nd European Conference on Teaching and Learning Politics, IR and ES is different. No more hours of listening, squeezing in discussants, and having too little time during the coffee break to have the “real-useful” conversations. Activities during this two-day interactive event are manifold: experience, provoke, stimulate, discuss, challenge, experiment.
The Institute of European Studies, VUB is hosting the 2nd European Teaching and Learning Conference during 9-10 June 2016, which is jointly organized by BISA, ECPR, PSA and UACES.
