“Participating in the Essentials for Teaching and Learning 2025 programme was an enriching and inspiring experience. Each session offered a valuable opportunity to reflect on teaching practice, explore personal strengths, and discover new ways to engage with learning styles.”
Inna Paiva,

ISCTE Business School

“From the very first session, I was impressed, as I was able to self-assess and discover my learning style, as well as the importance of understanding my audience. Throughout the sessions, I identified key tools that I can integrate into my teaching methodology to foster engagement and interaction. Session 4 was especially valuable, as it allowed me to fully grasp that it’s not just about mastering the conceptual content of the lesson, but also about managing the performative aspects of teaching. Overall, this process has provided me with deep insight, and I am now ready to put it into practice. I commend the event organizers and thank them for opening this door to knowledge and for enriching our value proposition as educators.”

“With the new tools I learnt during the ETL 2025, I was able to implement more in-class activities, asking more questions to get students more focused on the class topics and, in general, to increase their engagement.
In the beginning, the students were shy, confused and surprised by new way of acting in the classroom. However, they quickly started to participate more.
Exactly what I was looking for!”

“The training received in this program greatly strengthened my teaching practice. Although I am a professor of Biblical Sciences, much of the content was relevant and applicable to classroom exercises. With the exception of the topics strictly related to business and administration, the techniques, tools and theoretical foundations of teaching are appropriate for my work. The possibility of strengthening foreign language performance and sharing experiences and knowledge with professionals from other countries enriches the cultural horizon and is certainly an opportunity to learn to see the world and academia from new and hopeful perspectives.”
