Background

The Academic Network for Global Education & Learning (ANGEL) Conference 2023, the fourth biennial conference of the EU-funded ANGEL project, delivered this year in partnership with UNESCO°, was hosted at UNESCO HQ in Paris on the 19 & 20 June. This event, along with the other activities of the ANGEL network, are co-funded by the European Union.*

Conceived as a major, internationally focused gathering, the event brought together interested parties from all backgrounds for two exciting days of sessions showcasing and discussing research, projects, and new developments connected to Global Education and Learning or Global Citizenship Education, and other related fields such as Development Education, Human Rights Education, Education for Sustainable Development, Education for Peace, and Intercultural Education. The event, which was free to attend, prioritised transversal activities that promoted and enriched connections between researchers, policy-makers, and civil society organisations, especially those which capitalised on the rare opportunity to gather face-to-face.

With a theme this time of 'Global Education & Learning for a Just, Peaceful & Sustainable World', the conference included a mixture of inspirational keynote presentations, academic papers and presentations from empirical research, debates on key issues and opportunities for meetings of specialist Journal boards, early career researchers, NGO practitioners and policymakers.
