As part of a participative approach, a student forum was organized in March 2023, in collaboration with the Green Team of the Student General Assembly of the University of Louvain in Woluwe, to reflect on the medical studies of the future. The meeting followed the world café methodology, enabling participants to gradually enrich their thinking on three questions: scientific content/knowledge, skills/attitudes, and the teaching methods/learning systems needed to meet the challenges of the future. The discussions opened the debate and generated ideas that will enrich our thinking on teaching programs. It would be interesting to repeat the experience with a larger group, to provide better information upstream and to involve the Green Team students earlier in the process, right from the workshop’s design. In addition, the forum could contribute to a wider process of continuing education for students, in particular training in a participative approach to governance and the mobilization of the imagination.
