Building inclusive classrooms: focusing on who we teach and how we teach - Joelyn de Lima
Description & Objectives
This workshop is targeted at participants who are involved (or anticipate being involved) in teaching in higher education – as teachers, professors, lecturers, teaching assistants etc.
As educators the choices we make have the potential to increase or decrease inclusivity and equitability in education in general and in our classrooms in particular. This workshop, developed using evidence and theoretical frameworks from literature, and contextualised to higher education, will explore themes of inclusivity as a means of promoting equity and sustainability in education.
This workshop will explore the following themes:
- Self-awareness: Who am I and what am I bringing into the classroom
- Empathy: Who are my students? What are the assumptions we make about each other?
- Classroom Climate: How can I build a classroom climate that is conducive to learning?
- Inclusive Pedagogy: What are some pedagogical strategies and techniques I can use to make my teaching and materials more inclusive?
- Supports: How can I identify and leverage support structures for me and for my students?
Approach
This workshop is highly participative and employs multiple strategies including introspection, small-group work, peer-feedback, and design/redesign of learning materials.
Comment monter une équipe de recherche - Sylvie Guichard
public cible: Femmes - doctorantes, corps intermédiaire académique, professeures
Description et objectifs
La réussite d'une recherche repose sur l'équipe qui la mène. Les éléments nécessaires à son efficacité se décident déjà avant la constitution de l’équipe. La définition des besoins et des objectifs, en amont, permet de clarifier le cadre. Puis lors de la mise en place de l’équipe, une collaboration fructueuse est rendue possible grâce à la définition des rôles et des fonctionnements. Par ailleurs, si la diversité des membres de l’équipe (âge, genre, formation, etc.) permet des complémentarités, celle-ci comporte également des défis à anticiper, car la cohésion de l’équipe est essentielle à sa réussite.
Les participantes apprennent à :
- Définir ses besoins en ressources humaines et en compétences
- Créer une équipe performante en misant sur la complémentarité
- Pouvoir se positionner et se sentir légitime dans son rôle de responsable
- Identifier les erreurs courantes à éviter
Approche
Cet atelier repose sur une combinaison d’éléments théoriques, d’échanges dans le groupe et d’exercices individuels et de groupe.

Public speaking in English for researchers - Carmen Delgado & Andrew Hart
Target audience: Women - PhD candidates, intermediate academic staff, professors
Presenting your research in front of an audience and in a limited amount of time can be daunting, even more so, if you have to present in a second or foreign language. English is increasingly used in academic conferences, but also during trial lessons and academic job interviews, which means that honing your public speaking skills in English can boost your academic career. The main objective of this workshop is to help you refine your presentation skills and show that an accent or an imperfect mastery of grammar is not an impediment to becoming a confident and engaging public speaker.
This course is for researchers who would like to practice and improve their public speaking skills in English and whose level of English is somewhere between B2 and C2. The focus of the workshop will be on language use and effective presentation methods. Participants are expected to use examples from their own research for mini-presentations, detailed instructions for preparation will be sent out after registration. If you are an experienced presenter, you will have the opportunity to refine your presentation skills in terms of language use and effective presentation methods. If you have not yet presented, this is a chance for you to practice presenting in a supportive environment and to receive constructive feedback.
Learning outcomes
- Make your presentations more concise and more compelling
- Gain confidence when speaking in front of an audience
- Identify personal strengths and weaknesses in public speaking
- Develop a personal action plan to continue working on your presentation skills after the workshop
Approach
Participative workshop including practical exercises and theoretical foundations. Each participant will have a chance to present their research and receive peer and teacher feedback.
Self-empowerment: discover how to build your power to act - Nir Zalts
Description and objectives
- How could you feel more competent, worthy, valuable, and capable of doing things? What would enable you to address adversity with calm and resolve?
- How could you create conditions around you that would foster your ideas and projects?
- How could you develop courage to fight for what is important to you and to say No to what is not?
Although these questions seem very personal, they are actually widely shared and universal. Most people have doubts and struggle at times with their self-image, self-acceptance and confidence. Research shows consistently that developing these aspects is highly correlated to coping with life challenges, and emotional well-being.
This workshop is designed to help you identify ways to foster positive self-image, to transform limiting beliefs into self-compassion, and to increase your “power to act”.
Approach
Through experience sharing, discovery of tools like cultivating self-care and mindfulness, as well as via the analysis of concrete situations, each participant will be able to make another step on her/his path of professional and personal growth.
Science et politique en dialogue : Comprendre. S’engager. Influencer. - Fabienne Odermatt
Comment faire entendre sa voix de chercheuse dans les espaces où se prennent les décisions politiques ? À l’heure où les grands défis sociétaux exigent des réponses fondées sur la science, créer des passerelles entre recherche et politique devient essentiel. Pourtant, ces espaces d’échange restent souvent inégalement accessibles.
Cet atelier, en non-mixité choisie, offre des outils concrets et des approches pratiques pour valoriser son expertise et contribuer aux débats publics. Les participantes découvriront le fonctionnement du système politique suisse, identifieront les actrices et acteurs clés et apprendront à repérer les points d’entrée pour s’engager efficacement.
Comme les postes de décision en politique et dans la recherche sont encore largement dominés par des hommes, il est essentiel que les femmes de la relève académique puissent acquérir des clés d’accès à ces espaces stratégiques, afin de renforcer leur visibilité et leur impact.
Compétence acquis:
Dans cet atelier vous allez :
- Découvrir les bases du système politique suisse et ses liens avec le monde scientifique
- Identifier les actrices et acteurs clés aux niveaux fédéral, cantonal et communal
- Repérer les points d’entrée pour faire entendre votre expertise

- Explorer comment ces interactions peuvent enrichir votre parcours académique et ouvrir de nouvelles perspectives professionnelles
- Mettre en pratique ces connaissances à travers une étude de cas issue de vos recherches
- Échanger vos expériences et renforcer votre réseau de pairs en toute confiance
Approche:
Cet atelier interactif s’appuie sur une pédagogie active combinant apports théoriques, exemples concrets et exercices pratiques. Vous repartirez avec des outils concrets, une meilleure compréhension du paysage politique suisse et des stratégies adaptées à votre parcours personnel. Comme les postes de décision en politique et dans la recherche sont principalement occupés par des hommes, nous souhaitons, grâce à un cours spécialement conçu pour les femmes, leur faciliter l’accès à l’interface entre la recherche et la politique.

Vulgariser et parler aux médias - Virginie Pilault
Public cible: Femmes - doctorantes, corps intermédiaire académique, professeures
Description et objectifs
Parler d’un projet, en interne ou en externe, ou de sa spécialité, est un passage obligé dans le monde actuel. Le travail en réseau et en équipe se développe. On ne peut plus se contenter de l’entre-soi ! Pour faire passer ses projets, que ce soit auprès de ses partenaires, du public ou des médias, il est donc essentiel d’être bien comprise. Pour cela, il faut adapter sa présentation aux centres d’intérêts et au niveau de son public.
Parler de choses très techniques ou scientifiques à des non spécialistes, sans pour autant trahir ou appauvrir le contenu du discours : quelle gageure !
De plus, la très grande majorité des expert-e-s scientifiques sollicité-e-s par les médias sont encore et toujours des hommes. Dans cet atelier, grâce à quelques outils concrets, les chercheuses pourront mieux faire connaître leur travail à l’extérieur et ainsi gagner en visibilité.
A la fin de cette formation, les participantes seront en mesure de parler de leur projet de manière compréhensible et simplifiée, mais juste ! Elles sauront montrer l’intérêt de leur projet et intéresser leur public. Grâce à quelques outils concrets, elles pourront mieux faire connaître leur travail à l’extérieur. Elles connaîtront les exigences et contraintes des médias et pourront répondre sans stress à une interview radio ou TV. De manière globale, les chercheuses gagneront donc en visibilité.
Approche
Alternance d’exposés théoriques et d’exercices pratiques pour s’approprier les outils de la vulgarisation, apprendre à structurer son discours, éviter le jargon, sortir de l’abstraction, capter l’attention du public et la maintenir, concevoir un message ciblé. Exposé sur le fonctionnement des médias, leurs contraintes, leurs biais. Entraînement à l’interview.
Well-being and Workplace Success Through Emotional Intelligence and Growth Mindset - Silke Mischke
Description and objectives
How we feel influences our perceptions, decisions, and actions. Accurately perceiving how you and others feel, using these feelings to assist with the task at hand, understanding how these feelings arose and how they will change, and then managing to stay open to these feelings makes us efficient in our interaction with others.
Emotional Intelligence Theory describes four emotional key abilities:
- Perceive Emotions
- Empathize
- Understand Emotions’ causes and changes
- Manage Emotions by including the data of emotions in decisions & actions
In this workshop you will learn to explore how these skills mater in interacting with each other and how you can effectively use them at the workplace. At the end of this workshop, you will be able to give a definition of the emotional key abilities and identify how you would like to leverage your strengths and which skills you would like to further develop.
Approach
In this experiential workshop you will be introduced to the key concepts and then explore experientially how each of the key abilities could be applied and translated into concrete situations at the workplace.
Based on your understanding and learning from the group conversations you will be encouraged to define personal strategies on how to leverage and/or develop your emotional skills.
Writing and publishing in academia - Sarah Stauffer
Description and objectives
In a university setting, academic writing is a necessary skill to master. Often, proof of this mastery is measured in the form of publishing in peer-reviewed journals. However, the publication process can be daunting for authors, new or experienced. Knowing more about the process can help writers better tailor their work to the specific journal sought and increase their chances of success in publishing.
After this workshop, participants will better understand:
- Who the players are in the publication process
- How to cite their work to avoid plagiarism, boost credibility, and support their arguments
- How to choose the right journal for their work
- How to adapt a paper that has been reviewed to increase their chances of publication
- What to include in cover and response letters to best communicate with reviewers and editors.
Although these topics are germane to many different scientific domains, this workshop will be aimed at publishing in the human and social sciences. APA norms will be referenced as examples for citation and avoiding language biases. By the end of the workshop, participants with all levels of writing and publishing experience should be able to confront the process more confidently in order to increase their chances of publication in peer-reviewed journals.
Approach
Presentation, discussion, and interaction in small and large groups will be offered to exchange experiences and tailor the workshop to the participants’ level(s) of experience with the publication process.
