TEACHING THE FUTURE: RE-SHAPING THE PRESENT

Europe faces demographic, climatic, economic, technological, and political challenges for which its education systems must prepare future generations. As teachers are at the heart of our education systems, it is important to prepare them for these challenges in order to ensure high quality education for all young people. Cross-cutting issues are not a local phenomenon – they are international and relevant to teacher education across Europe., Therefore, teacher education can only succeed if we work together and integrate the wealth of experience and good practices from other countries into national education systems. Within TESTEd, we followed this guiding principle and looked at how we can advance teacher training together and in line with European values. True to the motto: learning from each other – shaping the future together.

The five cross-cutting issues of TESTEd are:

Education for sustainability
Democratic education and active citizenship
Gender diversity and equality
Multilingual classrooms
Digitalization of learning environments

The conference will take place at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, and at the following TESTEd partner universities, that will offer hybrid participation opportunities for local scientists:

University College Cork
Universidade Católica Portuguesa (Braga)
Universidad de Sevilla
University of Oulu

At the conference, we will look back together on three years of TESTEd and present our project results, but we will also look into the future of teacher education and discuss perspectives for schools and teacher education.
Our conference offers a scientific audience, teachers, doctoral candidates, students and schools a platform to present their research work, projects and teaching activities in the field of the five cross-cutting interdisciplinary topics. You can also look forward to exciting scientific symposia and workshops on the project topics, which will enable you to engage intensively with European researchers and take away new ideas for your own teaching at schools or universities.
Research on the integration of the five cross-cutting issues in teacher education can be presented in various formats. Among other things, there will be poster presentation, workshops for teachers or symposia. The evening will conclude with a conference dinner. The conference warming, which includes a panel discussion will take place the evening before and includes a guided tour of the Bochum mining Museum.
