Widening Participation Lunchtime Learn 

On the 28th May 2024, Lauren and Will presented, 'Towards Joyful Learning' at the Widening Participation Lunchtime Learn Seminar. We presented an empirical case for taking joy (and enjoyment) seriously in order to create more inclusive, meaningful and connected educational environments. We advocated for moving towards joyful learning to realise more inclusive and generative learning environments for everyone, especially those from widening participation backgrounds. You can find out more about the Widening Participation work within the Faculty via their Education Edit page here
