11.09.2019<div> During the workshop attendees gained an understanding on the application of
polymath approach in teaching and research. The session explored Interdisciplinary, cross-disciplinary and multidisciplinary approach in classroom to engage students. The workshop provided a framework to plan teaching sessions to enhance student participation. The
workshop additionally focused on the importance of embedding UN Sustainable Development
Goals in the curriculum that can prepare students for real life
challenges. This presentation thus proposes the survival strategy for both teachers and
students in the wake of the neoliberal challenges in higher education and advocates for the
polymath approach to enhance the scope of media pedagogy.
