Applying contemplative pedagogy at the University of Essex

/ CPN

I was pretty shocked to realise that the last blog was back in February. I hope you are all doing well.

This is going to be very brief but I wanted to share with you the resources I have generated during my recent ‘Applying Contemplative Pedagogy’ series here at Essex. The descriptions of each workshop are in the image below.

I have uploaded the four presentations that I put together for these sessions. These don’t include a detailed breakdown of what we did (these only existed in my mind!) but you may still find them useful. Please feel free to share and use as you see fit. If you have any questions please comment below and I will do my best to respond.

Best wishes, Caroline

Update – I realised it might be helpful to see the description of each session along with the learning outcomes. I have now uploaded the document with that information too.

  3. Thanks for you generosity in sharing these Caroline, they look fabulous. I’d like to think about how I might use this in may own University and beyond. I wondered if there was the possibility of running virtual communities f practice sessions around these resources to find out more?

    • Hi Stuart

      I would love to do something like that. I wondered if you have any particular model or platform in mind? I wondered about organising a zoom meeting? This allows easy screen share and active speaker view which is so helpful.

      Let me know if you had something else in mind?

      Best wishes
