Getting involved with public engagement is a fantastic opportunity for students. The skills they learn and the opportunities engaged teaching offers them set them up for careers inside and outside of academia. Across Warwick there are dozens of examples of modules/ lessons being created that either focus on teaching students about public engagement, or use engaged methods to teach students about a wide variety of topics. Everything from encouraging students to develop hands on activities, podcasts, or videos to explain a topic to a lay audience, up to building collaborative partnerships between students and communities.

This workshop will build on work done by the Public and Community Engagement Pedagogies Learning Circle to curate a handbook of examples of these engaged pedagogies (methods of teaching). If you're interested in exploring how you could create something like this in your teaching this session is a great opportunity to hear about practice from across Warwick and spend time considering the detailed practicalities - for example how might you assess this type of work, and are there any ethical considerations you need to think about? You'll be supported to design your own solution and receive peer feedback or your design.
