These seminars ar e free and open to the public.\nYou are invited to a series of events on t he topic of decolonising education for sustainable futures. The aim of thi s series is to consider how ideas about the future of education can benefi t from current efforts to decolonise education. \nCo-hosted by the UNESCO Chair on Inclusive and Quality Education for All\, with the Centre for In ternational Research in Education\, EdJAM - Education\, Justice and Memory Network and Educational Futures Network\, School of Education\, Universit y of Bristol.\nThe idea of sustainable futures lies at the heart of UNESCO ’s Futures of Education initiative which aims to reimagine how knowledge and learning can shape the future of humanity and the planet by equipping learners with diverse ways of being and knowing. Yet much of the knowledg e\, values and skills that we are expected to learn in formal education sy stems have been Eurocentric in nature. That is to say that they draw prima rily on Western frameworks and histories\, excluding other ways of conceiv ing the natural and social world. Protests including those led by the Blac k Lives Matter\, Rhodes Must Fall\, Indigenous and other anti-colonial\, a nti-racist social movements have called for education to be decolonised an d for diverse knowledge systems to be the basis for realising equitable an d sustainable futures. These demands have become accentuated in the curren t crisis. This series is about the importance of recognising epistemic jus tice as a condition for realising social and environmental justice in and through education and training.\nThe following overarching questions will guide discussions:\n\n In what ways are agendas for decolonising education and sustainable futures connected? What are the tensions? What does decol onising education for sustainable futures involve? How should it be concei ved and enacted?\n What are the roles and responsibilities of educational organisations/institutions\, individuals and civil society stakeholders in decolonising education?\n What forms of repair and reconstruction are req uired for sustainable futures of education? What are the possibilities for ‘reparative’ justice in and through education\, given education’s e nduring complicity with coloniality and environmental injustice?\n\nA seri es of three 1.5 hour online seminars will be convened to address these ove rarching questions. Using an open\, roundtable approach\, the seminars aim to bring together policy\, practitioner and academic communities and will include a panel of speakers with  plenty of time for audience participat ion in the spirit of dialogue.\n \;\n\n Connecting decolonial and sus tainable futures in education\n\n10 February\, 12-13:30 (GMT)\nConvenors: Professor Leon Tikly (UNESCO Chair in inclusive\, good quality education) and Dr Keith Holmes (UNESCO\, Future of Learning and Innovation team) \nT his will serve as an introductory session that will introduce the Futures of Education initiative and set out some of the theoretical and political connections between the decolonial and environmental justice agendas in ed ucation.\nVideo clip: Learning to Become\nPanelists:\n\n Professor Noah So be (UNESCO\, Future of Learning and Innovation team)\n Professor Veronica Pacini-Ketchabaw (Faculty of Education\, Western University\, Canada and C ommon Worlds Research Collective\, and co-author of Learning to Become wit h the World: Education for Future Survival)\n Professor Catherine Odora Ho ppers (Professor Extraordinarius\, University of South Africa\; Professor of Education\, Gulu University\, Uganda and author of Knowledge Productio n\, Access and Governance: A Song from the South).\n Professor Leon Tikly (UNESCO Chair in Inclusive and Quality Education for All\, University of B ristol)\n\nREGISTER FOR 'CONNECTING DECOLONIAL AND SUSTAINABLE FUTURES IN EDUCATION' ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.ukfiet.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/1 0/Bristol-Conversations-in-Education.png CATEGORIES:Seminar END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
