Are you interested in innovation in education? Would you like to get to know more about how innovation can also address social and inclusion aspects in education?
On behalf of the Innovation in Learning Institute (ILI) at Friedrich-Alexander University, the European projects BUFSIE, SCIL, SWEET HOME and SWING 2.0 invite you to the online conference “Social and Inclusive Innovation in Education“. You will have the opportunity to exchange ideas and get inspiration from Invited experts and practitioners from all over Europe. Join us online to exchange and discuss the latest developments, experiences and good practices in the field of innovation in education in different contexts.
The conference will focus on four themes:
Social Innovation in Higher Education: We will focus on Social Innovation Education in Higher Education to support educators in empowering students with a mixture of social, entrepreneurial and active citizenship skills (BUFSIE).
Social and Cultural Innovation Labs: We will focus on social and cultural innovation labs in secondary education to raise awareness among young people to develop creative and innovative solutions to social challenges (SCIL).
Inclusive Society: We will focus on how to use innovative tools to promote sign language skills among hearing people in different service sectors to facilitate communication with deaf people (SWING 2.0).
Greater autonomy for people with disabilities in their own homes: We will focus on utilizing smart home technologies to enable people with disabilities to live more comfortably, independently, and with greater autonomy in their own homes (SWEET HOME).
The conference will take place online via Zoom. The link will be provided to the registered participants shortly before the event.
The conference addresses everyone interested in education, such as university teachers, students, social innovators, educators, teachers, decision makers at local, regional, national and international level.
