‘Learning for Change: Connecting Local and Global Education' Conference 11th March
REGISTER NOW!
The Centre for Global Education's 2010 conference will focus on the theme of ‘Learning for Change: Connecting Local and Global Education', and will take place on Thursday, 11 March 2010 in the Camden Court Hotel in Dublin from 10:30am-4:30pm. It aims to identify the common principles that encourage ‘learning for change', i.e. what kind of education results in the learner altering their lives and action choices to achieve a common goal of a just and sustainable world. It seeks to bring together a community of educators to share their work and recognise a common goal of inspiring learners and creating active citizens. It intends to support the work of participants by looking into theories behind the concept of learning for change and providing in-depth workshops on selected methodologies that can be adapted to different organisational and individual needs. David Selby will deliver the keynote address on the topic ‘Transformative Learning in Interesting Times: Thoughts from a Darkened Corner', and Chris Chapman will facilitate a World Cafe session to encourage critical dialogue between participants.
