We host regular workshops and seminars where colleagues can trial creative teaching ideas or approaches, discuss teaching successes and failures, or present Scholarship of Learning and Teaching.

We are a supportive space and welcome informal discussions, half-baked ideas, or tentative approaches. Please get in touch with one of the organisers if you have an idea for a session. All are welcome to attend our events.
 
We also run an annual international Best Practice in Social Sciences Teaching conference which showcases innovative and imaginative teaching in the early summer. Instead of presentations describing ideas, the conference focuses on real classroom activities where attendees participate as students.
