DESCRIPTION:The Union of Students Ireland with the support of the National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education invites you to the online webinar on “Supporting Wellbeing in Practice” across the sector.   \nThe Union of Students in Ireland (USI) and the National Forum partnered on a very exciting research project beginning in January 2021 that examined the practice of embedding wellbeing in the curriculum in higher education in Ireland. The project set out to capture how wellbeing is currently being embedded in the curricula of higher education institutions nationally and internationally and identify features of good practice. The research has culminated in a report completed by Dr Jessica Surdey and Dr Deirdre Byrne which discusses the key insights gained from the study and exemplars of good practice identified. This report will be launched at the event.  \nThe project was complemented by a working group chaired by the USI President created by the Minister for Further and Higher Education\, Simon Harris T.D.\, to identify\, refine and implement strategies to enhance student engagement and wellbeing.  \nThis event will feature lightning talks from the leaders of innovative projects around student mental health that have built the evidence base for the sector. The talks will outline their projects and the future implications for institutions in their work to enhance student wellbeing.   \nThis online event takes place on Thursday 14th October 2021 from 12:30 – 13:30.  \nClick here to register for this event. \n  \n\n\n\nWelcome  \nUSI Vice President for Academic Affairs\, Megan O’ Connor \n\n\nIntroduction   \nDr. Padraig McNeela  \n\n\nWellbeing in the Curriculum Report   \nDr. Jessica Surdey and Dr Deirdre Byrne \n\n\nNational Framework for Mental Health Contribution\nTreasa Fox  \n\n\nHealthy Campus Contribution  \nBiddy O’ Neill   \nNational Project Lead Health and Wellbeing – Department of Health \n\n\nYP3 Contribution  \nRalph Astley \n\n\nIBEC Contribution  \nMeadhbh Costello  \n\n\nHEA Contribution   \nTim Conlon \n\n\nPanel Discussion  \nTim Conlon\, Meadhbh Costello\, Somhairle Brennan and Rebecca Lane\,

SUMMARY:VP for Learning and Teaching to open Vital Week in UCC. Dr Catherine Mahony launches the Civic Engagement Toolkit
DESCRIPTION:CIRTL supports staff and students who are engaged in teaching and demonstrates academic leadership in the scholarship of teaching and learning. In UCC that academic leadership includes an ambition for further embedding civic and community engagement in the curriculum. Read more about the benefits\, rationale and policy imperative in the Why Get Engaged section. \nThe toolkit has been devised to support all staff who teach in UCC who wish to integrate civic engagement into their teaching. Staff have requested opportunities to exchange knowledge\, to hear from their peers\, learn what’s worked well elsewhere\, to be inspired. That is why this toolkit is centred around Practice Insights articles with practical examples and tools to support implementation from peers and colleagues in the University\, nationally and internationally. This toolkit can be used to enhance professional practice in community-engaged teaching and learning and uncovers the variety of learning activities and methodologies that are available for use in teaching. \nFocus of event: \n\nLaunch VITAL week\nLaunch Civic Engagement Toolkit\n\nRegistration \nhttps://www.eventbrite.ie/e/vital-week-ucc-opening-and-launch-of-the-civic-engagement-toolkit-tickets-203121781717?aff=ebdsoporgprofile

DESCRIPTION:Valuing Ireland’s Teaching and Learning (VIT&L) Week will run from 8 to 12 November 2021. Regional events across the sector will continue until 30 November. During this period the higher education community will come together through local and national events to consider how we value teaching and learning and what the future of education will look like for the students of tomorrow. VIT&L Week will be launched at 12:00 on Monday 08 November. \nChair of the National Forum\, Lynn Ramsey will officially open VIT&L Week. The keynote speaker at this launch event is Prof Frank Coton (Senior Vice Principal and Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academic) at University of Glasgow and international advisor to the Board of the National Forum. Prof Frank Coton will share his thoughts on Why Valuing Teaching and Learning is VITAL. \nThis opening event will also share an overview of VIT&L’s month-long programme by Dr Terry Maguire\, Director of the National Forum. \nMonday’s launch will be followed by the first of our daily scholarship hours when our inaugural Teaching and Learning Research Fellows will share their initial research findings and what they mean for higher education.
