FOCUS ON EUROPE 2014
From the 28th to the 30th of October 2014 the Catholic University
College of Education Graz puts its focus on Europe and beyond. More
than 40 lecturers from 16 countries will be examining the international
field of education from the perspective of how ethical learning and
sustainable living can be realised in kindergarten, schools, colleges
and universities. This time our international meeting will be held in
cooperation with the European project ETHOS, whose project
members will serve as experts in the field of ethical learning.
The European Days pursue several goals, one of which is to intensify
professional networks and the cooperation in research among partner
universities. Guest lectures, workshops and expert discussions will be on
the agenda.
