The RSLEIHE is a student award scheme aiming to create and share local examples of student centred, student-initiated, future orientated teaching and learning experiences that can engage and empower students and directly meet their future needs in a meaningful manner.
The main theme is Learning in the Era of "New Normal":Post-Pandemic Learning. In this Symposium, 17 shortlisted student project teams from 7 local universities will share with us what they have learned in their projects in particular the implication and recommendations for teaching and learning in higher education.
It is anticipated that the projects will demonstrate various possible approached to develop Student-Staff Partnership in Hong Kong higher education. All colleagues and students are welcome to join the Symposium and to engage in the dialogue on redesigning student learning experience in higher education.

Call for contributions to ‘Voices from the Field’
15 June
We invite you to contribute to International Journal for Students as Partner's (IJSaP) new section of the journal called “Voices from the Field.” The goal of this section is to create a venue for a wide range of voices to address important questions around students-as-partners work without going through the intensive time commitment required by the submission, review, and revision processes. We want to hear your voices and put them into dialogue with one another!
We are posting this open call for thoughts on the question below, and we will organize excerpts from the responses we receive into what we hope will be a creative, engaging, accessible format to share with readers. Here is the question we invite you to address: What does successful partnership mean to you?
These responses or ‘voicings’ should be:
• between 75 to 150 words in length;
• informal but substantive—they can be practical and/or provocative, experience based or newly imagined, a plan or a challenge;
• clearly articulated from your own position and perspective (so very briefly tell readers who you are—context, identities/background, position); and
• focus on partnership/students as partners (within or beyond the classroom)
We are looking for up to 30 contributions by June 15th. Please use the link https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RDGZ893 to submit your response to the question. If we reach this number before the deadline you will no longer be able to make a submission, so please check the link before you start writing.
Please pass this note on to anyone you think may be interested.
