Emotions in the classroom: introducing a pedagogy of hope

Institution

Wageningen University

Description

In this course we explore nature inclusive methods that can support sharing, reflection and processing of emotions around global uncertainty, climate change, ecological and social decline/loss/impairment. 
Here you can read a report about the course from one of the previous participants.

Increasingly, staff and students are confronted with these realities throughout their study program or research efforts and may experience various levels of anxiety or emotional despair. It is usually beyond the scope of an academic lecture to address emotional reflection and processing. However, teachers can also no longer ignore the reality of deeper emotional levels reaching the surface in class or in conversation with students. This course can support teachers to be better prepared for emotional responses. In three days, this module dives into key concepts, methods and facilitation skills of working with emotions in class.
