With the knowledge we gained from surveys and interviews, from a review of existing training offerings, and with the help of our international knowledge and experience, we have designed a one-day experiential conference with modular workshops that address under-covered but highly topical themes in the area of citizenship. We will be assisted by top national and international experts. Rok Terkaj – Trkaj, Michelle Blanchett (Educator’s Lab, USA), Jordi Besemer in Karin Huet (BelVue, Belgium), dr. Mitja Sardoč (Pedagogical Institute), dr. Karolina Babič (UL FDV), Maja Drobne (Pina, UL FDV), dr. Mary Battenfeld (Bostonu, University, USA) and dr. Tomaž Deželan (UL FDV). It will take place on Tuesday, 23 April 2024, in Ljubljana Participation is free of charge and you will be issued with a certificate of attendance suitable for promotion. The conference will be rounded off with a plenary lecture and a panel discussion of different stakeholders in civic education. The workshops will be conducted for a group of 10-15 participants, which will ensure good communication and your participation, as the workshops are very practical oriented.
You can register using the registration form below, and before you do so, you can also view the workshop descriptions. We encourage you to select three workshops now, plus a possible back-up, so that we can work out a sensible schedule.
