Learning & Teaching Festival

Learning & Teaching Festival


A yearly festival that celebrates our success, offering a platform to share lessons learnt. This is an inclusive event bringing together researchers, teaching practitioners, professional services and members of all GBS communities.

About

This year’s festival is hosted by SEBE (Scholarship Excellence in Business Education) and will be an opportunity to discuss effective approaches to learning and teaching by sharing research findings and best practices. The theme of this year's festival is The Big Picture: Meta-learning.

“Meta-learning refers to the process of learning how to learn”.

By focusing on meta-learning, universities can empower students to become lifelong learners who are equipped to navigate complex challenges, embrace continuous skill development, and thrive in a rapidly changing world. Additionally, meta-learning aligns with broader educational goals such as fostering creativity, resilience, and a growth mindset, making it a relevant and impactful concept in higher education.

The L&T Festival will bring together presentations showcasing best practices and innovation in teaching, as well as results of ongoing pedagogic research carried out by colleagues. The event will be enriched by keynote speakers and networking opportunities.

Teaching and Learning Together in Higher Education (TLTHE) invites Greenwich Business School educators, researchers, and practitioners to contribute to a special issue on "Co-Creation of Teaching, Learning and Assessment at Greenwich Business School". This special issue aims to explore and advance our understanding of the concept of co-creation in higher education, focusing on how students and industry partners can be active participants in shaping the educational experiences and curricula at Greenwich Business School.
