Underpinned by the overarching theme of Internationalisation, student diversity and peer learning, the Conference will offer an interactive, inspiring setting to present and discuss your experience with peers.

• Get inspired
• Share best practices
• Exchange ideas 
• Reflect and deliberate

The Conference programme is organised around seven key Sections.

The organisers welcome both teachers and students, including Bachelor’s, Master’s and PhD students. Programme coordinators and educational developers are assumed to benefit from attending the conference, too.

The conference targets students and academics from various social science disciplines, including, but not limited to, political science, sociology, area studies, psychology, communication studies, anthropology, ethics, culture, law, and economics.

The conference will be held in English.

The conference will use different formats to enhance participant knowledge of pedagogical methods and approaches and to facilitate discussion among the participants.

Aside from listening to presentations of Papers and discussing with peers, you will have an opportunity to explore new teaching and learning methods via demonstrations.

Poster sessions will offer space to discuss learning designs and outcomes of learning methods based on visualised presentations and dialogue with the authors of posters.

A garden party organised at the end of the conference will provide an inspiring environment for informal pedagogical conversations.

The conference programme will also include slots for free exchange and networking.

The organisers invite the following contributions focusing on issues surrounding the learning and teaching of international students:

• Paper presentations
• Demonstrations
• Poster presentations 

You will be expected to submit your full Paper, a description of your Demonstration of a learning/teaching method, or a Poster by Friday 10 June.

The organisers particularly welcome submissions authored by students, including Bachelor’s, Master’s and PhD students or those co-authored by students and their pedagogues.
