In this workshop, we would explore and develop our understanding of the shape of kindness in educational settings. Students, as fellow educators, will be required to reflect on their experiences and practices of kindness. This reflection will contribute to a discussion about pragmatically embedding kindness in everyday educational life. For this, we are going to use a ‘Framework of kindness’. | HI Seminar Room (H204) @ 1pm | Click the arrow below to register 9 May 2024 | Workshop with HI Visiting Fellow Dr Wajeehah Aayeshah
