The modern political, social, humanitarian and cultural conditions formed at the beginning of the second decade of the 21stcentury outline a dynamically evolving and rapidly changing reality which is characterised not only by crises, threats, uncertainties and concerns, but also by opportunities, transformations and reversals. Education is a social phenomenon which interacts directly with social life; it is influenced by it and it may also influence it, play a leading role and meet modern challenges.
Given the rationale provided, the (Pedagogical) Department of Primary Education at the University of Ioannina organises an International Conference which aims at:
- The exchange of experiences, fruitful reflection and creative dialogue between the members of the educational community as far as modern challenges are concerned.
- The publication/presentation of contemporary scientific assumptions and research data with the ultimate goal of co-formulating proposals for a modern educational reality.
- The presentation and promotion of innovative and alternative practices for all levels of education, in the fields of formal, informal and non-formal education as well as adult education.
- Teacher awareness, teacher role redefinition and teachers’ flexible adaptation to the modern challenges imposed by technology, globalisation and the constant changes of the social and cultural environment.
- The reassessment and record of educational reality towards a human-centered and sociocentric education.
Conference Programme
The Conference will include:
- Oral presentations
