To inclusivity and beyond: belonging and the educational power of difference

Wednesday 14 March 2018
12.00-17.30 followed by reception and networking with speakers and facilitators
South Kensington Campus

At an exciting time for Imperial, when we embark on an institution-wide project to review and redevelop all of our undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, 2018's Education Day conference explored how we use this opportunity to make learning and teaching more inclusive, using ‘difference’ to generate challenging and meaningful learning experiences for all. Delegates spent a thought-provoking afternoon critically examining both student and staff perspectives of difference and inclusion, and considering strategies for nurturing belonging and equipping our students to actively participate in and learn from different experiences and perspectives.
