Hi Joakim,
I was wondering if the Strategy Cards have been taken down from the Google play store?
We can find the app available for Apple users, but cannot find an Android version. Is there one available or are they on a website by any chance?
Kind regards,
Órla
Hi supervisors,
Here's a reminder of the European Center for SI-PASS' activities for leaders (students) this spring.
We've had 40 Leaders join our LinkedIn group "SI-PASS/PAL Leaders in Europe" from a number of institutions and countries. Continue to push your leaders to join our group, since that will be our main way of communicating directly with leaders regarding activities that we offer, and an opportunity for them to connect with leaders from across Europe. https://www.linkedin.com/groups/12993570/
We have an online workshop coming up next Friday, 26th of April 1-2pm GMT/ 2-3 pm CET. Presenter: Becka Colley-Foster, Head of Careers & Graduate Employability, Edge Hill University, UK. The session is about how leaders can articulate their gained skills as leaders in other settings, e.g. LinkedIn profile and CV. So far, we have leaders from Loughborough, Lund University and Queen Margaret University signing up. Let your leaders know that they can sign up for this free of charge workshop here: https://forms.gle/FoNB58aFHuacyCPt5
We will offer personalized endorsements on LinkedIn to the leaders who join the session.
Best wishes,
Linda Dahlberg, Isabella Fairclough and Will Carey

Hi all,
Conor Start from University of Hull would like to share material that was talked about during the last SI-PASS Fika on March 11, 2024, see attached and below (for context)
Best wishes, Joakim (European centre for SI-PASS)
From Conor:
The University of Hull has had a University Library Volunteer Charter since 2012. The charter is used whenever a student volunteers with the Library and covers our PASS Leader, PASS Mentor and Library Volunteer roles. The charter is a formal way of students agreeing to the role and is similar to setting ground rules in a PASS session. It outlines the different roles, what is expected, and what support we offer to them during their time volunteering with us. On the last page we ask them to tick if they agree to share their information, for us to contact them and for their consent to allow us to take photos of them for promotional purposes. The students do not have to agree to any of these if they do not want to, but we often find they do consent. We use a mixture of physical and digital versions of the charter. We also have a similar charter for academic contacts to sign when they agree to support the PASS scheme within their department. We have found it useful to formalise our agreement to work together and it helps us to set expectations for all.
Kind Regards,
Conor
Hi,
We're pleased to promote the following webinar on Peer Assisted Learning (PAL) in Math, taking place on Wednesday 20th March 2-3pm (UK time):
**************
Using Peer Assisted Learning to support first-year Maths modules in Engineering and Physical Sciences
Nicola Allett and Pinar Ozbeser, Aston University, UK
This presentation focuses on a Peer Assisted Learning scheme implemented at Aston University to support first-year undergraduate Maths modules in Engineering and Physical Sciences. We will discuss the main features of the scheme and how it was introduced and evaluated using a Maths diagnostic tool. We will then present our initial analysis, which indicates that PAL has a positive impact on student outcomes (learning gain) when students are highly engaged in PAL. Finally, we will share the lessons we learned from establishing the scheme and invite attendees to share their own practice.
**************

Reminder: Registration and Call for Proposals - 2024 International Forum for Peer Learning and Peer Support<https://www.si-pass.lu.se/international-forum-peer-learning-2024>
In-person Event to be held at Technological University Dublin, 25th March 2024 *Please see attached flyer for details
Deadlines: Proposals due by Tuesday 28th November, register by Monday 11th December
Please use the registration link<https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=kLsAqf6UWEaLNN1yCExQZJD…> and consider submitting a proposal<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd4AAGXi5bcJO4oC4kg6OjDMIlirHtBaZN…> to present a session on an aspect of peer practice, or a live workshop which enables delegates to develop particular skills or insights.
The Association for Peer Learning and Support, and the European Centre for SI-PASS, are delighted to invite you to attend this in-person International Forum for Peer Learning and Support on Monday 25th March 2024.
Building on the highly successful in-person Forum held at the Global Banking School in March 2023, this promises to be another exciting event during which colleagues can meet up in person! At the last Forum we welcomed participants from Belgium, Canada, Ireland, Sweden, Norway, UK, and the United States. Presentations and discussion forums included topics about moving peer learning online, building peer communities, the role of peer learning in widening access and transition to university, and developing student resilience and wellbeing.
Through attending this 2024 Forum event, you can join like-minded practitioners and students for stimulating sessions, debates and discussions about many aspects of peer learning and peer support. It will be an opportunity to experience the fantastic TU Dublin campus in Dublin, Ireland. We will ensure there is plenty of opportunity for us to reflect on peer learning and support successes this year and share some of the challenges as we continue to move between online, hybrid and in-person learning and teaching environments.
We look forward to seeing you in March 2024!
Best wishes on behalf of the Forum Organisers:
