B. Objectives
| What is the purpose of this event? (e.g. share practice or research results / explore collaboration / inform about policy) |
The webinar aims to help academic teachers respond effectively to the needs and challenges of Generation Z students, supporting their motivation, engagement, well-being, and academic responsibility in a changing educational environment. |
| What are the expected outcomes for ELLS? (e.g. idea for joint activity, identified partners, sharing of a transferable good practice across ELLS institutions, alignment on a topic of strategic importance for ELLS, mapping of who is doing what within the alliance, inspiration for adapting or improving internal processes at partner universities, etc.) |
The webinar is expected to facilitate the exchange of experiences and transferable good practices among ELLS institutions in responding to the needs and challenges of Generation Z students. It will help identify common challenges and approaches across partner universities, inspire participants to adapt effective solutions in their own institutions, and create a basis for further collaboration, including the possible development of an ELLS Gen Z Teaching Toolbox. |
