Would you like to relive the day? Or we’re you unfortunately not able to be there and would you like to catch a glimpse of the event yourself? Please take a look at the aftermovie and read the highlights.

| OvP behind the scenes: sign up for the latest webinar
|
| If you are involved in education for professionals, you have an important role in the successful design and implementation of this education. In doing so, you often have to deal with new techniques for guiding participants. The approach is different for participants with work experience - how can you best approach them? How can you convince the participants to learn a new approach, and not keep their usual one? How do you deal with boundaries within the mindset? Would you like to know more about this? Register for the webinar "The guidance of Continuing Education" on 13 April from 16.00 to 17.00!

|
| 65 students following the same Master’s programme at the same time, but scattered over and moving between the premises of five different European universities. It might sound peculiar, but this is exactly what CHARM-EU Master’s students do. CHARM-EU stand for Challenge-driven, Accessible, Research-Based and Mobile European University and forms an alliance of nine European institutions. CHARM-EU offers the Master’s programme Global Challenges for Sustainability; the first degree ever accredited, taught and awarded jointly by different European partners. The first 65 students have now graduated from this Master’s programme

TAUU council member Bruce Mutsvairo visited primary school pupils
On Wednesday 22 March, 105 professors, including our TAUU council member Bruce Mutsvairo, cycled to primary schools across Utrecht during the annual Meet the Professor programme. 2500 pupils from groups 6, 7 and 8 prepared for the professor’s arrival with the help of hints and teaching materials. When the professor finally arrived, they got the chance to meet them and ask all their questions. In this way, Utrecht University introduces pupils to science and research to reduce the distance between the university and society.
