Teaching and Learning Conference

Call for Workshops

We are delighted to invite colleagues to contribute to our Belonging to Achieve: Where connection, engagement and success combine Teaching and Learning Conference.  

We are seeking innovative, interactive workshops that explore how we can create the conditions for every student to connect, engage, belong and thrive, whether through inclusive teaching, student voice, curriculum design, assessment, technology, learning communities or innovative practice. Workshops could be delivered by individuals or by small teams. 

We invite you to contribute a 45-minute workshop.  Workshops should be participatory, enabling colleagues to experience ideas in action and leave with something practical they can use in their own context.   

Please show how your contribution aligns with at least one other of our strategy values of:  

• Respect  
• Innovation  
• Support  
• Excellence  

Priority will be given to sessions which share ideas that colleagues can take away and implement in their own practice.  

We are seeking sessions that promote student belonging in some way – examples may include where some elements of teaching and learning have been co-collaborated with students, enhance student engagement or input. We also welcome practical sessions where the participants create a learning activity or artifact as part of the workshop.  

All workshops must involve interactive activities. 

Please submit a proposal of up to 300 words. You can include citations, or not, as you feel appropriate but do include them in the word count.  

We are also seeking a potential keynote from the University, in addition to our external speaker.  If you feel your session may be suitable, please indicate this on the form.  If you wish to discuss a keynote idea, please email TLConference@hud.ac.uk. 

Please submit your proposal using this online form. 

The deadline for submissions is 5pm, Friday 26 February 2027
