Welcome to the TAL conference 2022 website

The main theme of the conference is activating teaching and  learning which are the fundamental principles at the University of Southern Denmark, SDU. The conference intends to support practitioners’ mutual inspiration and present knowledge and experiences on how students’ learning is enhanced in accordance with the fundamental principles of SDU.

The objective of the conference is to provide for the participants an opportunity to

• share, document, demonstrate, reason and analyse their own examples of activating teaching and learning
• be inspired to develop their own practice of activating teaching and learning

This year we direct our attention to Developing student and graduate competences for the 21^st Century – share and be inspired by ways university teachers facilitate student development of their holistic sense of self and competences for lifewide (http://www.lifewideeducation.com/) and lifelong learning.

The conference target group is primarily employees at SDU and the University Colleges in the region. Meanwhile, the conference is open to everyone and abstracts and sign ups from participants from other national universities and other educational institutions are more than welcome.
