[Translate to English:]

Develop teaching in collaboration with students. Join us for a symposium on students as co-learning designers on 16 September 2025.

Educators, students, educational leaders, and developers are warmly invited to a one-day symposium hosted by the Designing for Learning in the Nordic Countries (DLiNC) project and Centre for Educational Development (CED). This hands-on event will delve into how students can take an active role as co-learning designers. Through playful exploration, expert input, and collaborative dialogue, we will share Learning Design practices from across the Nordics and discuss how educators and students can create a constructive and learning-oriented teaching and study environment in collaboration — an ambition that aligns with the Danish Framework for Advancing University Pedagogy.

Highlights include:

  • A keynote by Professor Catherine Bovill (University of Edinburgh), a leading voice in student partnership and Learning Design
  • A workshop featuring the collaborative Learning Design board game
  • An interactive panel exploring student involvement in shaping teaching and learning, involving experts, leaders, and students
