Stay connected with your teaching: Navigating the Educational Landscape through Technology, Society, and Student Engagement
Save the Date! You’re invited to this year’s Leiden Teachers’ Academy Education Festival!
This year’s festival offers a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between traditional teaching methods and the evolving digital and societal landscape. Students play a vital role amidst all developments that come our way. Building strong connections with students is therefore crucial to foster a more inclusive and responsive classroom environment.
This is your chance to gain teaching insights and exchange knowledge and experiences with teachers, students and other interested colleagues from across the university.
Together we will:
- Be inspired by keynote speaker Barend Last, expert in the field of educational design and innovation. Learn how to use blended learning to stay connected with your teaching.
- Learn new skills during interactive workshops along the dimensions of technology, society, and student engagement.
- Share thoughts on educational innovations with Rector Magnificus Hester Bijl.

The Education Festival is an annual event organized by Leiden Teachers’ Academy (LTA). The LTA was launched in 2014 to reward top talents in education and stimulate educational innovation. Lecturers who are selected as Teaching Fellows join the Teachers' Academy and are awarded a grant for educational innovation projects. The LTA currently consists of 25 teaching fellows. This year’s education festival is organized by LTA members Arianna Pranger and Peter van der Zwan.
