Workshop on Teaching Human Development

OPHI convened a four-day workshop in March 2007 on educational material for human development, to discuss course design and curriculum, pedagogical approaches to teaching human development, virtual learning spaces, textbooks and other teaching materials. The meeting took place in Oxford. This was the first OPHI meeting of academics teaching or wishing to start teaching in human development. The workshop included participants from universities and research centres in Brazil, China, Mexico, Uganda, Turkey, Japan, Papua New Guinea/Australia, the Dominican Republic, Egypt, Jordan, Slovakia/Bulgaria, Uzbekistan, Peru, Afghanistan, US and UK. It was an enriching opportunity to establish in a participatory way educational materials on human development as well as an ongoing learning community.
