The schedule will alternate between workshop contributions and opportunities to network and exchange perspectives with colleagues and students.
Theme and focus
The theme is “Authority in Action – Theoretical and practical perspectives”. We invite you to explore how professional authority is enacted in educational settings – with a focus on practical approaches. The theme is relevant across both teacher and social education and reflects shared challenges and insights across national contexts.
Presentation or Workshop Contribution
We kindly ask international participants to contribute with a presentation or workshop aligned with the theme. Your session will be attended by Danish students and faculty members. The sessions will be integrated into regular teaching schedules, allowing students to engage with international perspectives in their everyday learning.
You may choose from the following formats:
- Conversation Salons - Facilitated roundtable discussions with an introductory talk.
- Embodied Learning Sessions - Workshops involving physical activities such as drama, dance, or sport to explore learning on professional authority through bodily learning and reflection.
- PlayLab Workshops - Creative, hands-on sessions focusing on play as a pedagogical tool, learning environment design, or technology-enhanced learning.
