ANGEL Network 4th bi-annual International Conference 2023

ANGEL is gearing up for its next major international gathering that brings together academics, researchers, policy-makers and practitioners with an interest in research on Global Education & Learning, Education for Sustainability, and Global Citizenship, as well as related fields such as Development Education, Human Rights Education, Education for Sustainable Development, Education for Peace, and Intercultural Education.

Almost entirely face-to-face, the event is free with main keynote sessions streamed online. Papers and presentations will cover all sectors of education, focusing on empirical based research, theoretical reflections or contributions on history or meta-analysis. Activities that promote and enrich connections between researchers, policy-makers and civil society organisations are prioritised.

The event is organised by the Academic Network of Global Education and Learning (ANGEL) in partnership with UNESCO, with the cooperation of Global Education Network Europe (GENE), IOE, UCL’s Faculty of Education & Society, and the UNESCO Chair in GCED in Higher Education, based at the University of Bologna. This event, along with the other activities of the ANGEL network, is co-funded by the European Union.
