Theo Gilbert, creator of the Compassion in HE websiteLink opens in a new window, will share his evidence-based strategies for group work that use “compassion in its smartest, cognitive aspects to build and bond high performance teams”. Compassion is the “intention to notice, not normalise, the distress or disadvantaging of self and/or others and do something smart/wise about it. The implications of this - in relation to enhancements to student wellbeing and individual performance at criticality in team/group work – have been found in studies to be clear to see…not least in relation to the BAME awarding gap.” Read the full session abstract and access the booking form on this webpageLink opens in a new window.
