5,6,7... Can everyone see me? Teaching dance during the pandemic

As classes moved online during the pandemic, so did various scholarly fields adapt to the change. In this discussion, let's take a look at how dancers from different genres brought their dance lessons online, the challenges they faced, the opportunities they recognized, and the lessons they learned. This discussion can give us insight not only into how education can respond creatively to unpredictable hazards, but how dance, as a physical activity, rooted students in a reality and made them gain control over themselves during the pandemic.

Healthcare through another’s eyes
|
The World Health Organization has long defined health as being; “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”, but across the globe there are many populations that are marginalized or excluded from this. One of the greatest challenges to delivering effective healthcare and healthcare education is the inability to understand the needs of everyone in society. This case-led workshop will allow participants to explore how barriers to healthcare access can marginalize individuals within different societies and to develop and discuss ways that education can try and overcome them.

Food, Culture, Identity
|
We explore the theme of food while employing the story circle methodology. We believe that students’ intercultural experiences are not simply a one-way method of getting to know others and their cultures. Rather, such experiences should be reciprocal, allowing students to understand each other, which enables them to have a deeper understanding of themselves in light of others’ perspectives.
