BACK TO CONFERENCE PAGE
The General Conference is structured to
facilitate as much participation as possible by those attending virtually.
While there will be a small number of plenary sessions, most of the conference
will consist of parallel symposia or interactive workshops providing many opportunities
for delegates to share ideas, experience, and teaching materials.
The conference has been organized to allow
for two different time zones to suit our worldwide networks. Presenters will be
asked to specify their preferred time for presentation (1st time
window: 06.00-11.15 GMT; 2nd time window: 15.00-20.00 GMT).
We feature two main formats for both
presenting and taking part in the conference, taking up the challenge posed by
the pandemic of hosting an online conference and learning from online
conferences that have already taken place:
Symposia:
In the weeks before the conference, an
interactive virtual gallery of presenters’ papers and audio/video
presentations will be available to all attendees. Conference attendees can watch, read and
post questions about the work of the presenters. During the conference itself, the
interactive symposia featuring several presenters will provide a forum for
further discussion of the emerging ideas and questions arising from the papers
submitted by both presenters and the online audience.
Interactive workshops:
In the past, GAJE’s world-wide conferences have always been
opportunities to connect educators from around the world and to engage
them in moments of exchange of experiences, sharing of ideas, learning
from each-other, engaging and reflection.This conference continues this tradition with a series of parallel interactive
online workshops, which will give participants, guided by internationally
mixed teams of facilitators, the possibility to engage on a number of
topics linked to justice education.
