The Cyprus Pedagogical Institute, Cyprus Ministry of Education, Sport
and Youth, in collaboration with the University of Cyprus, organizes
the 6th International Conference “Literacies and Contemporary Society:
>From Skills to Practices”. The Conference has been included in the
official activities of the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the
European Union (first half of 2026).
The need to enhance and broaden skills for individual participation in
modern societies has been recognized in various ways. Contemporary
political, social, and technological developments—such as
multilingualism, cultural pluralism, and new technologies, including
artificial intelligence- render new skills essential, not only for
managing the complexity of everyday life but also for the future of
democratic states.
This raises the question: what are modern skills, and how can they be
transformed into meaningful actions and practices within diverse
social, cultural, and socio-political contexts? As such, the
Conference situates literacy within its pluralistic and
socio-political dimension.
The languages of the Conference are Greek and English.
