This international and interdisciplinary conference will again bring together a range of academics and practitioners to discuss new directions of research and discovery in education. As with IAFOR’s other events, ECE2017 will afford the opportunity for renewing old acquaintances, making new contacts, and networking across higher education and beyond.The European Conference on Education 2017 (ECE2017) will be held alongside The European Conference on Language Learning 2017 (ECLL2017). Registration for either of these conferences will allow delegates to attend sessions in the other.ECE2017 Conference Theme: “Educating for Change”Why are we in teaching and learning if not to be able to help enrich the lives of our students? Educational institutions at all levels, and of all types, should continue to strive for social change in today’s world. Beyond the seeming simplicity of our conference theme, however, is great scope for wide-ranging responses to just how we go about educating for change by examining the inherent challenges and responsibilities faced by educators the world over.Education, too frequently, is the victim of politics, and worse, sometimes ideologies. Politicians and bureaucrats devise and implement policies to effect change ranging from curriculum structure and goals to manipulating budgets on behalf of interest groups and their lobbyists. Questions relating to accountability, transparent governance and community relations are too frequently avoided.Within the classroom itself, bridging the gap between policy, theory, and practice, whether traditional or virtual, teachers and professors de facto become, at varying levels, agents for change. Beyond providing students with resources for study in given fields, they also support them by often being seen as acting not merely as mentors, but also as role models.These issues are part of the global transformation affecting all human civilization. How can we as teachers function effectively in a very uncertain environment? How do we help to equip our students with the intellectual and existential tools they require? How do we narrow the gap between theory and practice? How do we make decisions about curriculum and course context in the face of political pressure and social norms? What is the role of interdisciplinary studies in educating for change? And, at the macro level, how can we stimulate awareness of issues such as education assisting the promotion of social justice?This conference, part of IAFOR’s global conference series on education in its broadest sense brings together teachers, researchers and distinguished professors from around the world to share their insights. The goal is to broaden awareness of different contexts in the pursuit of synergies and solutions. We look forward to your active participation in this vital field of future-oriented academic activity of The International Academic Forum.Submissions are organised into the following thematic streams:LEARNING AND TEACHING THROUGH SOCIAL JUSTICE - Education: social justice and social changeLEARNING AND TEACHING IN COMMUNITY SPACES - Education: social and political movementsEducation and post-colonialismEducation for sustainable developmentConflicting perspectives in learning and teachingDigital technologies and communicationsEducational change through technologiesCHALLENGING AND PRESERVING TRADITIONAL CULTURES - ‘Englishes’ in global communicationBi-cultural, bi-lingual and bi-national educationLanguages education and applied linguistics (ESL/TESL/TEFL)Linguistics and pedagogyMultilingual societiesEducation for interdisciplinary thinkingEducation for intercultural communicationEducation for international exchangeChallenges of new technologiesLEARNING, TEACHING AND EDUCATIONAL STRUCTURES - Primary and secondary educationHigher educationAdult and lifelong learningTechnology enhanced and distance learningInternational schools and educational goalsEducational policy, leadership, management and administrationCurriculum research and developmentEconomic management of educationInstitutional accreditation and rankingOrganizational learning and changeProfessional concerns, training and developmentSpecial education, learning difficulties, disabilityStudent learning, learner experiences and learner diversitySubmit your research and join the discussion.
