MYFest 2025: Schedule

This session invites participants to rethink assessment in a time of generative AI by focusing on educators’ deeper involvement in learning, rather than relying on surveillance or detection. Together, we’ll explore how to identify the kinds of learning we most value and design tasks that make that learning more visible and meaningful.

Theatre of the Oppressed was developed by Augusto Boal in Brazil in the mid-60s. Its development stemmed from two core ideas. Firstly, is that drama can help people find solutions for their daily problems and obstacles. An art that can help emancipate. Secondly, it was based on the belief that acting is a skill that can be nurtured through practice and excitement. This sessions explores possible applications in pedagogical settings.

This is a recurring, short and guided journaling session. Through thoughtfully written prompts and individual quiet reflection time, you’ll journal about gratitude, self-love, loving-kindness and wellbeing. Bring a notebook, an open heart and come just as you are.

Join us for an interactive workshop where we’ll examine and nurture the ideas that have surfaced during this year’s MYFest journey. In a series of fun and creative activities, we’ll see what idea seeds we want to nurture, frame our learning, and create a digital time capsule to share with the MYFest community. While working together, we’ll use beautiful music as a backdrop for our creative endeavours.

Join us for an end-of-MYFest community reflection session. We hope this will be an opportunity to connect with each other as our mid-year programming ends, a way to look back at what we’ve learned, relationships we’ve built, and ripples of learning we hope to take forward. We hope you can also come and share with us what you’d like to see throughout the calendar year, so that we can remain in touch and support each other year-round.

In this interactive workshop we will explore the notion of learning sanctuary and imagine ways to engender such space within our courses.
