The second gathering will take place in Middelfart, and also includes accomodation for the PhD Students.
The teacher team focuses on ensuring a clear common thread between the online and onsite learning activities: We emphasize active and deep learning by encouraging interaction, discussion, action and reflection, but there is of course also a need for acquiring new perspectives, models, methods etc. A substantial part of the course will be organized as group work in both disciplinary and interdisciplinary groups, but there will also be individual work and plenary sessions.
