| After the success of the last online edition, the next edition of the Strengthen-Your-Education-Week is coming soon! Twice a year, UU-teachers can follow various workshops and inspiration sessions, aimed at strengthening their own education. This edition, aside from a few online sessions, is mostly organised on location, so we can finally meet each other again on campus for this inspiring week. You can attend sessions about blended learning, an inclusive curriculum, teaching in front of the camera and many more. Take a look at the programme and put together your own inspiring week!

| Discover our teacher development offer
|
| Are you unable to attend sessions in the Strengthen-Your-Education-Week? We offer teacher development sessions throughout the year. For example, in June you can come to the workshop on e-modules or learn why it is good to let students reflect and learn from each other through intervision. In addition, the challenges of the past academic year will be reflected on during a ‘Teacher exchange' session and the student perspective on educational innovation will be highlighted during a 'Student exchange’ session. Will we see you at one of the workshops or webinars?

On Tuesday 7 June from 12:00 until 13:00, Vineeth John will tell us about creativity: how can we encourage our students to be (more) creative, and how can we ourselves foster more creativity in our day to day working lives, even when time constraints?

| Are you doing research on Continuing Education?
|
| Research and knowledge about Continuing Education is limited, while the attention and energy devoted to this type of education is vastly increasing. On 14 June, HER and Professional Performance are hosting an event in which we aim to a) link UU researchers and make an inventory of which fields are being researched, b) draw up outlines for a UU HER continuous education research programme, c) explore opportunities for writing (European) grant applications. The event takes place at the Boothzaal (University Library USP), from 15h30 to 17h00, drinks are available at the closing of the event.

| Community Engaged Learning: what does it actually entail?
|
| The term Community Engaged Learning (CEL) is appearing more and more frequently. And this is not likely to diminish; in the coming years, UU will offer more courses that include Community Engaged Learning. But what does Community Engaged Learning actually entail?

TAUU Office Hour on Recognition and Rewards
What is good science and what makes a good scientist? The way this is viewed is changing fundamentally with a renewed vision on Recognition and Rewards. Now the question arises how this vision finds its way into practice within UU. Following thesis research about Recognition and Rewards, this will be the subject of the TAUU Office Hour on Monday 30 May. Come by to share your own perspective on this vision or listen to the thoughts others have about this theme. Of course, you are also welcome to join if you have any other questions!
Coffee to go with… Fréderique Purnot
This year, Teaching Community TAUU exists 10 years! A great moment to kick off this brand new TAUU column ‘Coffee to go with…’. For this column, we take a walk with UU lecturers and ask them about their work and passion. The first lecturer we spoke with was Fréderique Purnot. Among other things, she talked about what she enjoys most about her work, what the most special moment she experienced with students was, and shares a tip for other lecturers.

Supported by the CBL programme, an interdisciplinary team designed educational activities, both for the general public and students, to create awareness about the negative effects of light pollution on the biodiversity and scientific curiosity.
