What's new eduhub days 2023?

Walk the Talk


A lot has happened in our community in the last two years. We have faced new challenges and technologies, People have left the community, and new People have joined us.

As the latest two «eduhub days» took place virtually, we would like to take the opportunity in 2023 to exchange ideas and get to know each other again on-site.

For this purpose, we will introduce the new «Walk the Talk» format. The idea is to engage in active listening, inquiry and generative conversation. You will go on a one-hour walk in small groups while discussing a specific question.


Here is how a Walk the Talk works:

  • Participants will be divided into groups of four, with participants they don't know yet or have not engaged much with.
  • Groups go outside and note the time the Walk the Talk starts.
  • The first person will then have 5 minutes to address the prompt that was given to his or her group before each of the 3 other members have 2 and a half minutes to share their reactions and add question before the first person takes 2 last minutes to conclude.
  • After a first round, we will be starting a new round with participant n°2 as a starter.
  • After everyone has spoken, they can reflect on how the process was for each of them.
  • When everyone returns to the plenary room, the facilitator asks for some reflection and insights.

Marketplace

For this edition of eduhub days 2023, we have chosen to offer an open marketplace rather than parallel sessions.
