CIVIS is organizing a series of online workshops on the various innovative teaching methods of the moment. Open to teacher-researchers of all disciplines and to doctoral students for some, this series aims to allow the CIVIS community to adopt these new approaches and thus to help the development of good practices.
On the menu: stimulating topics, high-level specialists, tested ideas and transformative approaches!

Course of the workshops

The working group on innovative pedagogies of the European Civic University CIVIS sets up a cycle of webinars on the different pedagogical methods. During these workshops, composed of an average of twenty people, the exchanges and feedback from peers and experts capitalized during the group activities allow us to draw up an analysis of the trends and experiences in the nine universities of our alliance and then to experiment transformative approaches.
