All faculty, students, and staff are invited to a cross-disciplinary workshop on ‘Decentralized Energy and Active Learning’ on September 24, 2:00-4:00 pm in Don and Marion McDougall Hall, Grant Thornton Lecture Theatre, Room 329.

What do renewable energy transitions and student-centered teaching strategies possibly have in common? 

An overarching goal of decentralizing authority, a deep commitment to transparency, building trust amongst participants, and an active role for supporting institutions – to name just a few possible parallels. 

In this workshop, leading experts from the fields of ‘decentralized energy systems’ and ‘active learning pedagogies’ will participate in a facilitated discussion about potential synergies between their fields. Audience participation will be encouraged throughout – and a Q&A session will be held with the thought leaders. 

Coffee, tea, and light snacks will be provided. 

Contact any member of the research team with questions: Dr. Nick Mercer (Environmental Studies/Island Studies) at nmmercer@upei.ca, or Jehaan Cooper (Student Research Assistant) at jcooper13697@upei.ca.
