Impact Learning is a form of education that actively engages students in tackling real problems and making meaningful contributions to society. Impact Learning goes beyond the traditional classroom and encourages students to engage with society, apply their skills and knowledge to solve real problems and turn challenges into solutions. This engagement can take different forms, including direct collaboration with society, involvement with external project partners or communities and participation in citizen science initiatives. Different methodologies are used in impact learning, such as: design thinking, transition cycle, placemaking and citizen science. This shows that there are different approaches to facilitating these types of learning experiences. 

The Impact Learning grant offers you the time and space to develop and co-create an educational innovation project around Impact Learning themes. Read more about the Impact Learning grant at a later date.

All UvA lecturers who would like to contribute to today's society from their teaching can participate in the SIG Impact Learning. Whether you are an expert who brings a lot of expertise with him or whether you still want to learn a lot. Impact Learning is for everyone!

The SIG Impact Learning now consists of over 80 enthusiastic UvA lecturers. These lecturers are involved and active within the SIG to varying degrees, but all share the same goal: making impact with their teaching.
