The 6th HKU Teaching and Learning Festival 2024

The 6th Teaching and Learning Festival, organized by the Teaching and Learning Innovation Centre (TALIC) at HKU, will take place from March to April 2024.

Under the theme “INSPIRE: Sharing Good Practice in Teaching and Learning“, this festival aims to inspire HKU teachers by introducing innovative pedagogies and good teaching practices through workshops, open classroom observations and poster showcases, all designed to promote reflection and collaboration among colleagues.

To help us to think about how to initiate conversations about teaching, the festival will also host an international panel discussion, featuring leaders of peer review of teaching initiatives in University College London, The University of Sydney and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

Join us in celebrating and expanding the boundaries of effective teaching and learning at this festival. Mark your calendars and don’t miss any event!
