Teaching Week - fourth edition

The fourth edition of Teaching Week will take place from February 26th to March 1st, 2024, as part of the three-year project supporting teaching, promoted by the Teaching and Language Lab (TLlab).

The Teaching and Language Lab (TLlab) is an open academic community aimed at promoting initiatives and research that make the primary mission of a university, teaching, more effective. For this reason, TLlab studies, experiments, and promotes the use of various teaching tools, spaces, and methods, both new and established, placing the student at the center of teaching in the perspective of educational equity, inclusion, multiculturalism, critical thinking, and creativity development.
