In an era where higher education is shaped by increasing demands for digitalization, standardization, and measurable outcomes, there is reason to pause and reflect on the other dimensions of teaching. These dimensions cannot always be quantified, but they shape the very core of educational quality.</p><p>At this year&rsquo;s university pedagogical conference, we want to create a space for exploring and reclaiming teaching as an art form. What happens to the role of the teacher when teaching is reduced to merely necessary interactions, technical solutions, and demands for efficiency? How can teachers embrace the enthusiastic, relational, and responsive aspects of teaching, and thus create truly meaningful and loving learning opportunities for our students?</p>Humanities building, Umea universityConference/en/events/the-university-pedagogy-conference-2025_12106683/2025-11-06T09:00:00+01:002025-11-07T16:00:00+01:00/en/events/kom---workshop-im-only-human...-and-an-academic_12069218/The workshop focuses on ethical aspects and the importance of relationsWed, 03 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0100<p>This workshops are linked to the course <a href="/link/2e6f551abad24d6a9e608ab46be88531.aspx">Communication for Learning (KOM),</a> but are open for anyone to participate in, even if you are not taking the course.</p><p>In this workshop, you are invited to a joint exploration of different experiences of being human in the academy, what that means, what significance it may have for the way we relate to each other and to our students, and what we ourselves can do to invite others to more profound ways of communicating and learn.</p><p><a href="/link/888c6fdf60284e0a801facab1e3fec63.aspx"><strong>Read more and register here</strong></a></p>Läraren, UPLCourse/en/events/kom---workshop-im-only-human...-and-an-academic_12069218/2025-12-03T00:00:00+01:002025-12-03T16:30:00+01:00
