Nordic Teacher Education Conference
18-21 May: Linnaeus University, Kalmar
What challenges do Nordic teacher education face when democratic values are questioned and threatened? How can Nordic teacher educators be able to give the teachers of the future the knowledge and skills required for them to have the skills to give children and young people a good democratic foundation to stand on? In an increasingly troubled world, the Nordic teacher education programmes need to work together to defend an education that is based on everyone's equal value, human rights, inclusion and humanity. In our time, this mission is more important than ever.
More information about the conference will be available later.
