AGIS Conference 2026 Potsdam
Working Together To Support Learning
Sunday September 20, 2026 9:00am - 11:30am CEST
Why do we listen, and how can we help students truly hear others’ perspectives? This workshop focuses on developing the ATL skill of listening actively to others’ perspectives and ideas to build empathy, understanding, and positive relationships. Teachers will explore practical strategies and simple language prompts that support students in sharing feelings, respecting differences, and connecting with others. By strengthening active listening, we empower students to contribute to a more caring and inclusive world.
