International Forum for Peer Learning
Save the date of 21 March 2023
The International Academic Peer Learning Network, and the European Centre for SI-PASS, are delighted to announce that the 2023 International Forum for Peer Learning and Support will be held in person.
This is a free and in person event held at and sponsored by Global Banking School, Stratford, London. Hosted by: The Association for Peer Learning and Support, the European Centre for SI-PASS in partnership with Global Banking School.
Building on the highly successful online Forums held in January 2021 and June 2022, this promises to be another exciting event during which colleagues can finally meet up in person this time! At the last Forum, we welcomed participants across several different time zones including Australia, Belgium, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, Sweden, Turkey, the UK, and the United States.
Presentations and discussion forums included topics about moving peer learning online, building peer communities, the role of peer learning in widening access and transition to university, and developing student resilience and wellbeing.
By attending this 2023 Forum event, you can join like-minded practitioners and students for stimulating sessions, debates and discussions about many aspects of peer learning and peer support. It will be an opportunity to experience
GBS’ flagship campus in Stratford, London. We will provide plenty of opportunities to reflect on peer learning and support successes this year — with the opportunity to share some of the challenges as we continue to move between
online, hybrid and in-person learning and teaching environments.
Registration deadline: Tuesday 21 February.
