GENERAL INFORMATION

Maximum duration of presentations:

Presentation 10 min + discussion 10 min = max 20 min. A presentation may also include one maximum three-minute video or several shorter video clips.

Video + discussion = max 10 min. Maximum duration of the video: Three minutes.

On the content of the presentation: In the presentation, you may describe what your project has been about, but also, and specifically, what you have learned during the process (what you would recommend for others and/or what you would do differently). It would also be interesting to hear about what has changed in your teaching as a result of the project, or what you would like to change. Please be prepared to answer questions from the seminar hosts and the audience as well as to discuss your project and the topic.

We ask that the presentations projected on the Stage wall not be overly detailed. For example, we recommend that you only use a little text in a large font (min 40 pt). Small text will not be legible on the Stage wall. White text on a dark background works best for presentations. Black text will only be visible against a monochrome light background.
