Disponibilizamos o resumo da mesma:
“Globalisation is reshaping educational institutions, student cohorts and the capabilities needed by teachers and graduates. Higher education is responding in various ways, among which the internationalisation of learning and teaching is seeking to formulate learning experiences which are both accessible and appropriate for increasingly diverse students, and which enable them to lead lives they have reason to value as they graduate into an increasingly connected, multicultural world. All students, across the disciplines and across all levels of education, have the right to experience equitable learning opportunities which allow their voices to be heard and their perspectives valued. What does this mean for teacher capabilities, curriculum design, and the environments in which learning is to be enacted? And, how can increasingly complex student diversity contribute to learning which will enhance everybody’s capabilities to make their way among diverse others in a globalising world? These are among the most pressing issues of our times, and how effectively educators and educational policy makers address them will have significant impact upon the shape of our futures. This presentation will explore key challenges and opportunities for institutions, teachers, teacher educators and students, and will invite participants to critique their own practice against principles for inclusive intercultural education.”
A organização foi da responsabilidade de Betina Lopes, Mónica Lourenço e Susana Pinto, investigadoras e bolseiras de Pós-Doutoramento do CIDTFF.
