The theme of the conference includes opportunities and challenges in the future of extended education and can be understood from many different perspectives. Extended education gathers after-school programmes for children outside school hours. Conditions, policy documents and purposes differ between national contexts. By bringing together international researchers, knowledge about challenges and opportunities for conducting extended education activities can be spread and deepened across national borders. The ambition of the conference is to be a meeting place for new and already established collaborations and, through presentations of current research, to increase knowledge to build extended education of the future.
The conference includes different possibilities for meetings during the week:
- 22 September: Conference for practitioners. Welcomes practitioners and policymakers in Extended Education both on site and hybrid seminars.
- 23-24 September: Pre-conference for PhD students. Application for fundings from Erasmus+ is possible, for more information contact Myung Hwa Baldini.
