The research group Critical Perspectives on Educational Research (KUF) invites you to an international symposium on eco-democracy and education. For three days, researchers will gather to explore how eco-democracy can be understood and translated into educational research and practice. As part of this, we will be broadcasting some key-note lectures (half-hour long open lectures including 10 min for questions and reflections) from Zoom.
NOTE! To participate in one or more key-note lectures, you need to fill out the registration form below. A Zoom link will then be sent to the email address you provided. You will use the same zoom link for both days' key-note lectures.
