The Education in a Changing Environment Conference (6th - 8th July 2011, Salford, Manchester, UK) was asking for ideas for "creative ways of presenting your research". I came up with the crazy idea of a "Tea session at 5PM" conference session. Let me explain... it's easy!

Get some small tables for 5 or 6 persons.
Get some tea and cookies.
Put a native making the honors and sharing a brief introduction to the British Tea Culture.
Every person around the table should talk for 5 minutes about a personal experience that should start as "I would like to share with you one of the best moments that I had as a teacher/learner/researcher."
Half of the session should be devoted to drinking, eating and talking about the shared experiences.

This type of session usually takes place late night at the pub. Why couldn't we bring it to the conference program?
