Conference Theme: “Surviving and Thriving: Education in
Times of Change
In 2017, IAFOR education conferences in Asia, Europe, the Middle East and North
America have brought together delegates from around the world to consider the
theme of “Educating for Change” from a variety of different perspectives and
approaches, taking full advantage of the international make-up of the attendees
and the huge diversity of experiences. A recurring theme throughout the
conferences was the reference to the future, be it immediate or longer term, as
being uncertain; the natural resilience and optimism was counterbalanced by
both apprehension; with hope also came fear.
In this period of great global political and economic instability, rising
inequality and social unrest, the role of education within society has never
been more important, but never more vulnerable. This brings us to our
conference theme for 2018, which references these inherent vulnerabilities in
both educational systems and the individual students and teachers, as well as
the necessary resilience needed to not only survive, but also thrive.
How do we teachers, administrators and policymakers adopt and adapt to change
outside our control? How do we nurture and encourage positive change, through
the excitement of the imagination, innovation and creativity? How can
technologies be better used to help us teach, and to help students learn? How
do we sustain and manage change? How can we react positively to negative
change? How can we, our institutions and our students survive and thrive in
these times of change?
In conjunction with our Global Partners, we look forward to extending you a
warm welcome in 2018.
