In the Evening Lecture, Prof. Dr. Timothy Drysdale (University of Edinburgh) emphasizes the power of hands-on learning, suggesting that audiences actively try out concepts rather than passively listening. He addresses the challenge of transforming rigid institutional behaviors into impactful, sustainable infrastructures, noting that this shift requires strong, convincing arguments. Drysdale stresses a critical transition in education: moving from “learning knowledge” to “developing real-world skills.” For meaningful teaching innovation, he argues, resources like time, funding, and space must be allocated differently to break down existing barriers. An
interactive element of his lecture allows participants to directly engage with these ideas.
