The symposium focuses on the role of PDP, portfolios, facilitation techniques, technology and personal developmentrecognition schemes, in encouraging and enabling holistic student development through their lifewide experiences
Students develop their capability for living, their resilience for surviving and the resourcefulness that enables them to prosper in the real world through their whole life experience – not just formal education. This conference will explore further the UK higher education phenomenon that views students’ engagement with their life experiences, as the fundamental resource for personal and professional development.
