Education for sustainable living - Symposium 16 – 18 February 2024
The goal is to explore elements in education and life-long learning for global sustainable development, in particular with focus on challenges to current democratic life-forms, forms of self-governance and human-environment relations.
In relation to UN’s SDGs we wish in particular to address: 4. Quality education: addressing strategies for education, youth and lifelong, with respect to
awareness of climate and environmental issues and how to organize and live accordingly; 12. Responsible consumption and production in terms of educating mindset and living regarding individuals' environmental impact.
We wish to discuss different perspectives on these issues in relation to both research and practices in, but not exclusively, relation to education in a broad sense and addressed from a variety of backgrounds, for example, pedagogy, anthropology, post-colonial studies, cultural theory,
philosophy, arts and letters; and also through exchange of experiences from research, (teaching) practices, policy making, art and other contexts in which education and learning matter.
The symposium is an exchange of knowledge, experiences and ideas. We welcome research presentations, sketches of ideas for research as well as for practices/activism, presentations of important texts, cases, and experiences.
