Synopsis

• Engage the senses through various educational exercises you can implement in your classes or everyday life


• With detailed instructions on how to introduce sensory learning into university education


• Illustrated by Tânia Alexandra Cardoso

Seeing, tasting, smelling, hearing, feeling. After early education, sensory skills are rarely trained directly, but most professionals naturally develop them with practice. Come to Your Senses provides direct exercises that will help sharpen your and your students’ senses so that they can utilize them in their professional and personal lives. Senses-based learning is a pedagogical methodology that focuses on exploring and developing sensory awareness and skills, and critically reflecting on their importance in education, research and professional practice.

Based on the exercises carried out at Maastricht University from 2021 to 2024, this book functions as a manual on how to implement senses-based learning within and outside academia. Come to Your Senses re-balances and reasserts the importance of sensory skills in tertiary education and professional practice through interventions in the existing curriculum in the form of designed learning units, learning resources and activities.
