Integrating the 4Cs in Humanities Classrooms

This workshop helps humanities instructors embed essential 21st-century skills—critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication—into their teaching practice. While the humanities often emphasize the great ideas and cultural achievements of the past, this session ensures students can connect those lessons to the demands of today and tomorrow. Participants will also explore innovative e-learning apps that provide students with interactive ways to engage with cultural heritage. By the end of the workshop, educators will leave with actionable strategies and resources to prepare students for future academic and professional success.
