New ANGEL Seminar Series now confirmed for 2021 and 2022.
To further the project aims of the Academic Network on Global Education & Learning - of building an international community of researchers and scholars in the field of GE, and responding to event feedback from members, we are happy to confirm a regular series of shorter, research-focused events called the ANGEL Seminar Series. This series, created with the needs of members in mind, but open to all, is aimed mainly at Global Education professionals, as well as anyone with an interest in research in the fields of Development Education, Global Citizenship Education, Human Rights Education, Education for Sustainable Development, Education for Peace, and Intercultural Education.
The project aims to host around 6 events during each academic year, with a schedule of dates confirmed at the beginning of the autumn term.
All events are free and open to all, but please do register in advance. Some sessions may feature follow-on informal member-only sessions.
These events, along with the other activities of the ANGEL network, are co-funded by the European Union.*
Project background
The Academic Network on Global Education & Learning (ANGEL) network is the most comprehensive network of Global Learning professionals, with members in more than 70 countries. ANGEL facilitates the sharing of research and news, organises networking and conferences, and aims to form a pool of experts which can become a resource for policymakers in search of strong research grounding for policy development. ANGEL is a EU-funded partnership project of Global Education Network Europe and the Development Education Research Centre at the UCL Institute of Education.
