Giannis will reflect on the roots of this intersection and the importance of taking these into account across contemporary debates.

Despite the significant interest in the area during the last years, there is scarce evidence that actively considers teachers’ reality when seeking to examine this intersection.

Biesta-ean theory that reflects on ‘teachers’ educational wisdom’ influences Giannis' thinking in terms of the intersection of teaching and global learning. This webinar applies to those that seek to examine alternative possibilities for conceptualising this intersection, as well as embedding global learning in practice.


This online event will be particularly useful for practitioners and academics.
