Festival of Teaching: the Challenge of Change
De Montfort University has a proud history of providing teaching that allows our graduates to go on and make a difference in Leicester’s communities. During the Covid-19, staff and students have responded through their expertise and studies to support the goal to Build Back Better, undertaking activities that not only inform learning but connect with the challenges brought by the pandemic and work with local organisations and authorities to develop novel solutions and additional capacity to recover. At this launch of our Festival of Teaching 2021 a panel of experts will discuss what it takes to deliver ‘Teaching Excellence and Social Impact’ during a pandemic and support the city to become stronger and resilience as lockdown eases and the recovery process begins.
