SI-PASS Fika
The European Centre for SI-PASS (Lund University) is pleased to announce the first online SI-PASS FIKA this spring semester for supervisors and leaders on 13th of February between 1-2 pm UK-time / 2-3 pm CET. The zoom-link to the fika is: https://lu-se.zoom.us/j/4630658731 . The theme of the Fika will be ‘Gamification: creation and implementation (in SI-PASS)’. The event will be hosted by Emma Mansfield from University of Southampton and Marieke Ohl from Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh.
(An SI-PASS FIKA is an informal get together over a cup of coffee/tea and a cinnamon bun (last item not mandatory). The FIKA is free of charge and provides a chance to talk about SI-PASS related issues or just have a chat with SI-PASS friends).
In order to have relevant themes for fikas later in spring we would like you as SI-PASS practitioners to suggest topics (and if you are willing to host the event). At latest two weeks before each fika. Suggestions can be sent to si-pass(a)stu.lu.se<mailto:si-pass@stu.lu.se> or to Joakim Malm directly (mail address below).

Hi everyone,
Really sorry for this, but it seems that there was a full-stop after one of the links in the CfP, which meant that they've not been accessible! The email is now re-sent with working links. It seems like there might be an issue if you click on them, but if they're copied and pasted it works.
“PALS/SI-PASS: The Leader Experience”
Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh, 5th-6th June 2023
Keynote speaker: Linnea Wallen (Lecturer in Sociology)
Individual paper, panel and workshop contributions are welcomed for ‘PALS/SI-PASS: The Leader Experience’ to be held in-person at Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh, on June 5th-6th 2023. This conference explores the uses and impact of academic peer learning and support in Higher Education contexts, with a specific focus on leader experiences.
The SI-PASS/PAL model is a globally established provision that aims to support students throughout their educational experience. A growing body of literature acknowledges the impact of Peer Assisted Learning on students’ social and academic experiences, particularly in relation to Widening Participation (WP) and student retention. In line with PAL's focus on WP, and the centrality of student perspectives and experiences, the conference organisers welcome contributions from student leaders that explore Peer Assisted Learning provision within Higher Education. We invite contributions in the format of presentations, workshops, or posters, on a range of topics including but not limited to:
· Peer Assisted Learning and student wellbeing
* Equality, diversity and inclusion in Peer Learning contexts
* Managing change, in times of COVID-19 and/or the aftermath
· Division/field-specific peer learning practices (e.g., Peer Learning in the Arts and Humanities; Peer Learning in the Social and/or Life Sciences)
· Transferrable skills for career progression
· Peer Assisted Learning and integration into Higher Education
· Peer Assisted learning and Widening Participation
· Impact of leadership on personal development
· Impact of peer learning on academic success
· Students as partners: coordinator support
Please submit your proposal abstracts of up to 250 words and a bio of up to 100 wordsby 10th April 2023 by filling out the following form: https://forms.gle/dutZ3FT2MtSQfL7x8
Any questions can be directed to pals(a)qmu.ac.uk<mailto:pals@qmu.ac.uk>. Please also register your interest here: https://forms.gle/SV9nHzEH3TjSqcnr5
The formal registration will be sent out at a later date. We very much look forward to hearing from you, and welcoming you to Queen Margaret University, Scotland!
