CIICA CONVERSATION: STUDENTS NAVIGATING INTO HIGHER EDUCATION: PART OF A RESEARCH PROJECT
TUESDAY 24 NOVEMBER | 19:30 UK | 20:30 CET | 14:30 EST | 11:30 PST | 25 NOVEMBER 06:30 AEDT | 08:30 NZ
As part of a research project (in which CIICA board members Leo De Raeve & Jarle Franceus are involved) this conversation brings together students with cochlear implants to share their experiences of their transition period from secondary education to higher education. While all insights and students are welcome, this session is especially aimed at students in their first two years of higher education.
The conversation will be led by Leo De Raeve and he will be joined by Belgian twins, Sofie & Anouk Goffin and Gargi Agrawalla, Graduate from the UK.
Together, we will explore the barriers faced during this early phase and ways to ease this transition. What preparation in secondary education is essential, and what is currently lacking? What personal skills and educational adjustments are needed to ensure optimal academic success, social participation, and well-being? Your lived experiences are vital to help us understand how to best support current and future students with a cochlear implant.
Please note that after registration, you will receive a digital form to provide some brief background information of yourself before the conversation. All shared experiences and gathered data will be fully anonymized in our research.
All insights and students are welcome on this inclusive and important conversation!
