Meeting Description:

In times of rapid and unprecedented global sociocultural change, urgent calls
are being made for salient educational responses to current global and digital
challenges. Such calls are being met in (re)formulations of global
(citizenship) education, sustainability education, and service learning, which
endeavor to promote a democratic and human rights culture in schools and the
larger community.

Foreign language education is increasingly responding to these developments by
updating and transforming FL pedagogies. In support of this nascent
trajectory, this conference will engage with the epistemological and critical
foundations of educating future global citizens across varied contexts.
Accordingly, our aim is to explore citizenship and sustainability education
from a wide range of perspectives, also interdisciplinary in scope, as regards
developing theories, research and practice in FL education. We are
additionally interested in how global education performs on a local level as
well as in increasingly interconnected environments, and how digital settings,
practices and methodologies are consequently implicated.

In light of these trajectories, we welcome contributions that discuss,
(re)negotiate and reflect on global (citizenship) education in theory and
practice from an international perspective.
