Call for Papers<\/strong><\/p>\n 40 Years of Pedagogy:\u00a0 For Sustainable Changes in Education<\/strong><\/p>\n Forty years of conferences; 40 years of evolution and development. The last few months have Sustainable development is a concept that is becoming increasingly important in our daily lives. How can we facilitate access to education? How do our teaching and pedagogy promote awareness How will technology and scientific discoveries influence the way we work and learn while
\nforced the education system to develop new ways of doing things as well as innovative and stimulating techniques. These methods\u2014virtual in nature\u2014have driven the whole system to evolve at a speed that we could not have imagined just a few months ago. When the situation returns to normal, what changes\u2014large or small, wanted or imposed\u2014will remain? What are the current best practices and those evolving? How can we shift from teaching in the classroom to online while maintaining both contact with our students and collegiality among staff?<\/p>\n
\n
\nIt affects all spheres of life and influences the decisions we make, based on our desire to live in a
\nsafe, healthy world. Whether we considering concerns related to the future of the planet or that of
\nour society, sustainable development leads us to adopt a new educational stance. The greening of
\neducational institutions and curricula is thus part of an international movement to make schools a
\nlever of awareness and transformation in a perspective of sustainability.<\/p>\n
\n
\nof sustainable development issues among the future generation? How can we foster inclusion,
\nequality, and engagement?<\/p>\n
\n
\nthinking about things from a different perspective? Will these discoveries force us to adapt
\nto the changing needs of business and society? Why and how should we modify our teaching
\nand evaluation strategies to take into account the diversity of the student population and how
\nits characteristics have changed? Education must be creative and innovative, given the increasing opportunities for training outside the school setting. The adaptation of curricula to the needs of the job market so as to ensure a qualified workforce remains a must in order to develop our society\u2019s current and future skills. In short, the concept of sustainable development for this year\u2019s symposium fits in with the vision of enabling students to be active and involved agents in the future of society.<\/p>\n
