Off to Denmark to deliver a couple of workshops for Education Esbjerg

Sharing work from @marinoinstitute.bsky.social on designing student experiences that invite imagination, not just information

Looking forward to catching up with familiar faces from #EFYE2025

Two weeks on from #EFYE2025, back at MIE and still buzzing with ideas

Great sessions, even better chats, EFYE really is a community

Big congrats to Ananda Geluk & MTU for well-earned recognition. Felt proud of the Irish showing 💚

Still chuffed my workshop got a shout-out too!

Three days of learning, laughing, and connection at #EFYE2025 in Leuven.

If you want a concrete example of the power of EFYE and this community: I met Ananda at last year’s conference and nominated her this year. That’s what @efye2025.bsky.social makes special.

You were very welcome, Alana. Delighted you were able to make #EFYE2025 your first overseas conference for a while. Wonderful to have Denis with us as well...hopefully the first of many great sessions for him and more interactions with #EFYE for you both. Conference highlight(s)?

haha great, I got a mug. In Austria, we would say "this success has many parents" #EFYE2025

Who’ll be in Hungary next year?

EFYE is headed to Szeged for #efye2026

Kudos KU Luven you did a great job with @efye2025.bsky.social

Fantastic to see NTU's own @edfoster.bsky.social winning the EFYE Champion Award. Ed reminds us that what we are doing works and makes an impact. By trying something to support students, we are making a difference. Ed is a supportive colleague whose support I value. @efye2025.bsky.social #EFYE2025.

The brilliant @edfoster.bsky.social is this year’s EFYE Champion!

A gentleman and a scholar

Richly deserved

Well done to the AnSeo team from @mtu.ie on their award at #efye2025

They’re doing tremendous work

So pleased to see Ananda Geluk named EFYE Rising Star 2025! 🌟

Her work with first-year students is thoughtful, generous, and inspiring. I was proud to nominate her and even prouder to see her recognised.

Well done Ananda, thrilled for you

As @anneliesraes.bsky.social mentions student names being displayed as an advantage of virtual participation, reminds me again how great our conference name badges are. Life on easy mode #efye2025

An important reminder for all of us teaching students as part of Anneliese Raes's keynote on day three of @efye2025.bsky.social. If you can deliver your session the same way with no students in the room, don't do it. Interesting discussions around hybrid learning spaces and their potential.

Wow... 600 years of @kuleuvenuniversity.bsky.socialImpressive and inspiring

Today’s #efye2025 keynote taking me back to my @ucc.ie days and Denis Linehan’s Geography lectures discussing place and space

First session of the morning up and running with a super show and tell session #efye2025
Excellent presenters with lots of insights to social media usage and exciting student engagement initiatives.
May 28, 2025 at 7:55 AM
Given that I (with the support of other fab colleagues) set up a peer mentoring system in our department last year, this is the perfect way to kick off day three of @efye2025.bsky.social. #EFYE2025.

#efye2025 attendees if you get time on your last day in Leuven

Visit Poescafé – Leuven's cat café! Just down the street from the conference

With four feline hosts: Lizzie, Lucy, Anna, and Bowie, it offers a purrfect opportunity for something a little unique

Day 2 of #EFYE2025 was another packed day of learning, laughing, and connecting.

Great sessions on student transitions, buddy programmes, and simplifying the student experience.

Plus a great dinner at De Hoorn Brewery

And some brilliant corridor conversations too!
May 28, 2025 at 6:48 AM
A fantastic @efye2025.bsky.social conference dinner at De Hoorn Brewery. Fabulous food and company with the addition of some student-led drinking songs. One more day of the conference to go! #EFYE2025.

I know it's a crazy thought but I can’t shake the feeling that not everyone is approaching our sacred bingo challenge with the same intensity as I am... also, who wants to change careers??
