Embed public engagement in your teaching
A Warwick education champions the importance of co-creation with students, student research and innovation. Engaged research takes this further, enabling them to see the true value of research for communities affected. It also helps them develop key skills to support their own personal development. For you as a teacher there are also benefits to combining your teaching and engagement practice. Did you know for example you can use taught public engagement activities towards your claim for HEA Fellowship?
On this page we've pulled together resources to help you get to grips with how you can embed engagement within your teaching practice.
