The OnderwijsFestival:
the UU education event
Will you be there (again)? On Thursday 6 March 2025, the 34th edition of the Education Festival will take place! On this day, we celebrate education at UU with a vibrant programme in the University Hall, so put it in your calendar! It will once again be a day full of interesting workshops and keynote(s) around educational innovation, teacher development and research on your own teaching (SoTL), among others. The winners of the Teacher and Teacher Talent of the Year awards will also be announced, as well as the UU Team Award. During the day, there will be plenty of opportunity to meet new colleagues, exchange ideas and experiences and toast together.
Do you have an idea for a workshop? This year, you can submit a workshop proposal for the programme, matching the topics that will be highlighted this year. More information on how to submit a proposal can be found here. In addition, like every year, you can also submit a poster of research on your own teaching.
During the past edition, 426 participants attended the OnderwijsFestival: 178 teachers, 173 staff members and 75 students. It was a day full of inspiring and instructive activities on various educational topics. In addition to instructive workshops on Community Engaged Learning and education with Extended Reality, among others, there was also room for relaxation, including a street poetry walk and a silent disco. In addition, teachers presented their scientific research on their own teaching (SoTL) in poster presentations and the festive Teacher and UU Team Award Ceremonies took place. In short: a day you don't want to miss! We look forward to welcoming you (again) next year on 6 March 2025 in the University Hall!
