The theme is “Inclusive Education for an Inclusive World“.
IVETA (International Vocational Education and Training Association) invites you to a learning festival in Malta. Traditional educational settings are often geared towards the status quo i.e., prescribed curricula, teaching methodologies, and assessment. Much of these are top-down-driven approaches.
IVETA Europe will be running a special conference alongside a learning festival run by the INCLUSION2 project (funded by the European Union). Come to ‘Futureland: Inclusive Education for an Inclusive World’ in Malta and experience a unique series of masterclasses and training events by leading experts.
The recent COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the issue by painfully demonstrating the levels of inequity in classrooms around the world from access to resources and learning, ability and disability, and inadequate learning and teaching methods.
Futureland seeks to address and redress this challenge by looking for solutions to a more inclusive educational model that is sustainable and fit-for-purpose. Some of the questions this approach generates: How do we entrench a culture of inclusivity in our schools? How can practitioners come together and make the mindset shift towards co-creating solutions? What technology can be used to this end?
“Come share your expertise, ideas and experience with like-minded educators and industry practitioners (TVET and non-TVET) while learning from others. Together, we can revolutionise the world as we know it and to celebrate best practices”. (Dr Julian Ng).
Some of the topics to consider are:
- Adaptive expertise in the classroom.
- Use of AI/IA or other technology in education.
- Green and sustainable education.
- Inclusion methodology in curricula.
- Integrating sensory and physical skills alongside mental skills.
- Creating a resilient population for the 21st century.
- Developing professionalisation in education leaders and teachers.
- Whole-school approaches.
- Professional learning communities.
- Co-creation of knowledge.
Think of this as setting the scene for the rest of the conference.
