Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to announce the launch of Spark Salon, a unique gathering designed to bring together Chinese and international faculty members within our university community.

What is Spark Salon?

Spark Salon is a relaxed and inviting platform where educators from diverse cultural backgrounds, academic disciplines, and departments can converge. It aims to break down silos and kindle the flames of creativity, knowledge exchange, and professional growth.

Why Join?

In today’s globalized academic landscape, cross-cultural interactions offer a wealth of insights. Here, you can:

· Share your teaching methodologies and classroom successes, learning from each other’s pedagogical wisdom that spans continents.

· Discuss the latest research trends and challenges, finding potential collaborators to push the boundaries of knowledge in your field.

· Engage in conversations that bridge cultural gaps, enhancing our campus’ international atmosphere and fostering a sense of unity among colleagues.

What to Expect?

Each salon session will feature open discussions, short presentations, and interactive activities. You’ll have the opportunity to meet new faces, rekindle old acquaintances, and most importantly, let ideas collide and spark new breakthroughs. Whether you’re seeking fresh perspectives for your research project or innovative teaching strategies, Spark Salon is the place to be.

When and Where?

Our inaugural session will take place on March 14 (Friday) at 4:00-5:30 pm in Li Shen Xuan (2F), and we are very much honored to have invited Dr. Nian Zhiying, Director of PBL Teaching and Research Center, College of Education for the Future to share her thoughts on the topic: A Discussion on Project-based Learning from the Perspective of European Culture. Mark your calendars and come ready to mingle, share, and be inspired.

No matter if you’re a seasoned professor or a newly joined lecturer, your voice matters, and your experiences are invaluable. Let’s come together at Spark Salon and create a vibrant community of learning and collaboration.

We look forward to seeing you there!
