Submissions are invited for Call for Proposals: Reimagining the Education of Humanity for the Third Millennium by Azim Premji University, Bengaluru. The last date of submission is September 15, 2024.
Azim Premji University is an Indian non-profit private university, located in Bengaluru, Karnataka. It was established by the Azim Premji University Act and recognised by the University Grants Commission under Section 2F.
The international initiative “Human Education in the 3rd Millennium” was launched by thinkers and educationists from across the world who are concerned with certain trends in educational policies and systems of the present times. The outcome of this initiative was a Global Declaration that proposes aims and values of education, and institutional approaches and general principles of pedagogy at different levels of education.
The Global Forum 2025 aims to discuss the key messages of the Declaration, to examine the current challenges to education and offer newer imaginations of educational processes, policies and practices. Attention will be paid to what it means to be human in the third millennium in the context of societal and political crises, the rapid development of AI and other technologies, and the forging of new relationships between humanity and the entirety of Nature and planet Earth.
Participants will include a diverse body of academics, teachers, researchers, civil society members, practitioners and students, among others, from across the globe. The Forum foregrounds diversity of voice and perspective in the format of the programme, and will include workshops, roundtables, keynote talks and poster presentations.
Please prepare a 150-word abstract and 300 – 500 words (excluding references) proposal that connects your proposed work with the themes of the Declaration. Besides English, participants can submit their proposals in Hindi, Kannada, Spanish, French, Arabic, along with an English translation.
Interested participants can submit here via this link.
All proposals must be submitted through the proposal submission form by September 15, 2024.
