Barcamp Lehre – Leibniz University Hannover

You set the agenda: In ‘Barcamp Teaching’, teachers and students can contribute their own topics, ideas and questions on a specific theme that they would like to discuss and develop further. In this open-format event, there are no fixed speakers, but rather a spontaneous and intensive exchange with a summary of the results at the end. You will be professionally supported by the academic teaching team.

Join in and gain new perspectives on teaching and learning!

How does a Barcamp work?
At the beginning, concerns and topics are collected in a plenary session.

Participants assign themselves to a topic that particularly interests them.

In small groups, participants exchange ideas on the topic and jointly develop possible solutions.

Finally, the small groups present their initial findings and solutions

Of course, you can also participate without contributing your own topic. All interested parties are welcome!

Past events

7 May 2025 / Teaching Day: ‘Think tank for innovative teaching projects’

Do you have new approaches and methods for teaching practice that could also be helpful to others? Are you pursuing a project idea that you would like to develop for submission to the teaching funding programme, for example? In our Barcamp*, you will have the opportunity to present both small and large ideas or approaches. Together with other interested parties, you will examine them from a variety of perspectives and take them to a new level.

Would you like to contribute your ideas or approaches? Then you will have the opportunity to spontaneously present a proposal with a pitch at the beginning of the event.

Would you like to get involved with colleagues who share your interests and learn from each other? You are welcome to come even if you don't have your own topic. Your active participation is important and valuable in any case.
