SoLT Workshops

How to submit your workshop proposal

Selected workshops will be scheduled on July 2, as a pre-conference workshop and will be held face-to-face at South Bank campus. Workshop facilitators are expected to be on-campus, in-person to present accepted workshop proposals. Proposals should identify the relevance to the topic of teaching and learning in vocational and/or higher education. More specifically, successful proposals will be well connected to the 2025 SolT conference theme of, “Empowering education through confidence and change.”.

We encourage practical and experiential sessions that demonstrate to participants actionable strategies. The proposal should include details about how you plan to engage the participants.

Pre-conference workshop: Duration

Workshops should be designed as two hours in length. Please include detail in your proposal about how the two hours will be utilised in this workshop. More specifically, please outline a plan to engage workshop participants.
