European SI-PASS/PAL Festival 2021 - An Update Hi all, A while back we emailed to introduce this year's SI-PASS/PAL Leader Appreciation week, designed to recognise and celebrate all our Leaders across Europe. We are now getting back in touch with an update and to make you aware of a few changes. 1. What's changed? We initially proposed a Leader Appreciation Week during 7th - 12 November, however after feedback and further consideration we can now announce that we will be launching a SI-PASS/PAL Leader Festival from 28th November - 2nd December 2021. With a simplified title, and later dates, it is hoped that more institutions will be able to register Leaders to the European Center facilitated elements, and that we are providing more time for Supervisors to choose to run their own 'festival' event on campus, during this week. 2. What is on offer? The European center invites Supervisors to register SI-PASS/PAL Leaders to attend the Festival, which will offer a series of synchronous and asynchronous sessions. Leaders who attend the European Centre Festival can expect - Pre & Throughout the Festival · A pre-Festival pack · Access for a year to a MIRO board - to connect with other Festival attendees, build a SI-PASS community, and share resources Sunday 28th November - Evening · Online Festival Launch Event to kickoff the Festival Monday 29th - Tuesday 30th November and Thursday 2nd December · Daily - Exclusive asynchronous material launched, with opportunities to connect and reflect with other Leaders · Each Morning - 'Thought for the Day' - A short, thought provoking session to kick start the Festival day! · Lunch times - Festival Fika! hosted by an International Certified SI/PASS Trainers. Informal drop in coffee session with other Leaders and International Colleagues · Each Evening - · A choice of Parallel Sessions to attend · A 'Headliner' Event · Opportunity to digest the day and connect with other Leaders Wednesday 1st December - Campus Festival Day! · Campus Fringe Events! - a chance for Leaders from the same institution to come together on campus to reflect, share and learn from each other. · We encourage supervisors to be hosting events on campus, and will be providing guidance and ideas for institutions who are able to organise some activity · For any Festival delegates who are unable to access any individual institution activity, they will still have the opportunity to attend the daily ''Thought for the Day' session and Festival Fika! Thursday 2nd December · Celebratory Evening Event for all Festival delegates (+ Supervisors/Extra Leaders to Institutions who have registered Leaders to attend!) Ongoing Opportunities - NEW for 2021 Festival · Registered Leaders will have the opportunity to join a small facilitated group (with a mix of Institutions) to work throughout the Festival and beyond to provide shareable outputs for dissemination with all attendees and the Leaders own Institutions We want to make the Festival accessible in terms of engagement and cost. Therefore, we have been conscious to keep costs as low as possible and offer group packages enabling more Leaders to attend from the same institution. Many of the Festival events will feature asynchronous content allowing participating Leaders to engage with material at times that suit them. 3. Costs & Registration 960 SEK Swedish per Leader (Approx £80 GBP) 4175 SEK Swedish for 5 Leaders (Approx £350 GBP) 7750 SEK for 10 Leaders (Approx £650 GBP) You register by: https://www.si-pass.lu.se/webform/booking_form_european_si_pass_le Please note that you will have to wait for an invoice from Lund university before you can pay by credit card. If you have registered with us already, we will be in touch separately to advise on next steps! 4. How could my Instituton get involved in the Festival? As part of the broader SI-PASS/PAL Festival, we hope that you will take the opportunity to deliver some Festival activity on your campus, to bring Leaders together for them to share experiences and as an Institution to celebrate the impact they are having. We are really keen to hear your ideas of what this could look like for your programmes, but we also recognize that everyone is really busy so we will be providing (for those who are interested) a resource bank of ideas/guidance of activities you could run during this week. We hope that many of you will be able to engage your Leaders in as many aspects of the 2021 European SI-PASS PAL Festival as possible!
