Events and Training
The ENLIGHT Teaching & Learning Hub runs regular training and events, through ENLIGHT and via partner institutions.
We welcome the participation and engagement of all of our ENLIGHT community in these events, both through attendance and via the organisation and facilitation of events.
We would also like to invite any partner institutions running internal teaching and learning events to open these up to the ENLIGHT community, so that everyone can benefit from shared perspectives and experiences.
