Welcome to Day 1 of the Digitalisation and Co-engaged Active Learning Summer School! Today's focus is on Digital Transformation in Higher Educational Institutes. After a stimulating morning, we'll break for a Miro board activity at 12:00, offering participants the opportunity to engage with and reflect on the morning sessions. We will continue our discussion after the break on Miro board, ensuring everyone has a chance to contribute their insights. We'll reconvene at 14:00 to reflect on the day's discussions and activities through a group discussion, with a report back on the Miro board activity. Finally, at 15:00, we'll bring Day 1 to a close, ready to tackle new insights and challenges tomorrow. Let's continue our journey towards digital transformation and active learning together!
