At the conference, there is a thematic group on global education research with papers both in English and in Finnish.
The GERIF network also organizes an open meeting for everyone interested in global education research – scholars as well as practitioners and policy-makers. The meeting takes place during the Special Interest Group (SIG) time slot, also online. We will inform about the exact time and instructions for participation as soon as the final conference programme is published.

We warmly invite everyone to join both the paper sessions and the SIG meeting – and the GERIF network in broader terms! For anyone interested, the GERIF network provides opportunities to engage in the field of global education research and to promote dialogue between research and practice.

New coordinators for the network will be elected at the meeting. Please let us know either by e-mail or on the spot if you are interested in being part of the coordinator group.

WEBINAR ON THEORY-PRACTICE RELATIONSHIP OCTOBER 22th
 
Virtual seminar: Challenging the Theory-Practice Divide in the Context of Development Education Centres in England.
This event, hosted on Zoom, will see Dr Andrea Bullivant, a practitioner based with a Development Education Centre (DEC), discuss her research which aims to address the lack of knowledge about conceptualisations of Development Education and Global Learning (DEGL) and the theory-practice relationship from the perspectives of practitioners.
The seminar will be of interest to practitioners, as well as researchers, students and other actors in the field of DEGL with an interest in theory or practice.
This event is part of a series of seminars run by ANGEL partners the Development Education Research Centre (DERC), a UCL Institute of Education research centre that acts as the hub for knowledge generation, new thinking and quality output on development education, global learning and global citizenship.
