Student group’s challenge

“The students wanted to work on providing basic life support to high schools. […] Some studies show that people just do not know what to do in an emergency, especially younger people. So, you need to inform people about basic life support knowledge before they get their driver’s license for example. So, the students generated the idea to involve high schools. […] The students were so convinced of their own idea that they made twenty very short videos. Like very easy first aid procedures for students. […] It was not super innovative because the sources that students used were from the Red Cross. So, in terms of innovation, it was not that high. But the students were super enthusiastic about their own idea, and they (students) shared all those videos” [T11 basic life support].

Teaching activities

“As a teacher, you also do not want to limit that (student groups’ enthusiasm). So, I know that it will not be really innovative, and that the students will not make a big difference. But the students are so enthusiastic, and so into it. And my role as a teacher is then not to discard or reject the idea in some way, but simply to support the students in taking the enthusiasm of the project with them” [T11 basic life support].
