The School of Education is delighted to have recently secured two International Research Collaboration Funds (IRCF) to develop partnerships with Beijing Normal University (BNU) and Zhejiang University (ZJU) in China. These exciting developments are part of the work of the UNESCO Chair in International Education and Development.
As part of the projects, delegations from BNU’s Institute of International and Comparative Education (IICE) and ZJU’s Department of Education will visit us in June. While they are here, we will explore, accelerate and celebrate our partnerships with them in research, teaching, postgraduate research (PGR) support and more. Our staff and PGR students are being invited to join the conversations with our provisional programme as follows:
Symposium on 'Transforming Education for International Understanding and Global Justice’
This symposium will discuss how educational practitioners and researchers collaboratively transform teacher development and school curricula for international understanding in the current global context.
This event starts with an introduction to ZJU’s Department of Education and our School of Education, followed by various discussions on how the two universities can collaborate in teaching, research, and other areas. Colleagues and PGR students from ZJU will join online for some of the discussions.
We're looking forward to the visits and enhancing our relationship for future collaborations.
