It will take place in the facilities of the FAU in Nuremberg (Germany) with the option of online participation. Keynotes, presentations and workshops will be streamed live.
The conference aims at bringing together researchers with educators working in or with schools. It offers a combination of invited keynotes as well as papers and workshops that have been submitted on the basis of a call for papers. You can submit your proposals until the 15th February 2024.
The thematic focus of the conference is on ESD (Education for Sustainable Development) with an emphasis on ecological, environmental issues and their intersection with spiritual, religious or worldview perspectives. Similar educational approaches such as such as Climate Change Education, Ecological Education, Environmental Education, and Global Learning are also taken into account.
The conference addresses these issues in regard to public education at schools and institutions of higher education.
Target groups are scholars, researchers, teachers, teacher trainers, religious leaders, politicians, stakeholders and members of NGOs, civil society as well as state organisations that are – directly or indirectly – involved in ESD.
