Collaboration Circle
Learn together how to learn
Working together with other students to reach their own goals in their studies. The main focus is on independent and social learning, which can be practiced here.
Why you should learn how to learn
Learning is key to succeeding in your studies. The idea of lifelong learning shows that we will continue to develop in our profession and beyond, and that we can and should learn new things. Self-paced social learning is becoming increasingly important. However, this way of learning needs to be learned.
