The small group will then look through the videos and in turns give and receive feedback. This session is borrowed from UU’s Academic Teacher Training Course and has proven to be a fantastic way of developing your role as a facilitator.

After lunch we will be visited by Katarina Båth from the department of literature who will share some of her experience with working with intersectionality in the teacher program, discuss her perception on how those experiences is relevant for a context of ESD and initiate a shared conversation.

We will finish the day with an open workshop for creating, organizing and finishing functions and pages on your studentportalen and wordpress course sites.
