 A shift in pedagogical approaches is needed
“Education can help us forge a path towards a fulfilling life – both in a professional and in a social sense.

 


 It has a crucial role in fostering intercultural dialogue and in preventing exclusion and radicalization. But in order to unlock its full potential, we need a shift in pedagogical approaches: Education needs to become more inclusive, to focus more on individual needs and to promote student-centered approaches to learning. (…) I know that the European Students' Union is eager to play a big role helping refugees and students in conflict areas. And I truly appreciate your commitment.“ says Mr. Tibor Navracsics, European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Youth and Sport  and one of the key speakers of the Convention.
A general agreement was that the refugee crisis and the development of e-learning are triggering more changes in the Bologna Process than the structural reforms. The use of ICT in higher education and e-learning was mostly seen as a complement to traditional educational paths and not as a substitute to teacher-student interaction.
During the three day event, ESU projects such as PASCL (Peer Assessment of Student-Centred Learning), IDEAS (Identifying Effective Approaches to Enhancing the Social Dimension of Higher Education) and ESPRIT (Enhancing the Social Characteristics and Public Responsibility of Israeli Teaching through a HEI-Student Alliance) were presented through workshops and discussions.
 “Our 30^th European Students’ Convention built a bridge between students and European policy-makers and we were extremely happy with the results and participation. Everyone agreed that students should be equal partners in the education process. We are grateful to the European Parliament, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for their support to this event,” says Fernando Galan, Chairperson of European Students’ Union.
