Interesting conference

11th March
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.
