Conferences and events
Conferences and events of the Development Education Research Centre.
Reflecting DERC’s aim to act as a knowledge hub for Global Education and Learning, the Centre runs many events, both online and in person, to build connections between the various professional areas connected to this growing area of educational research and practice.
DERC seminar series
DERC runs an ongoing seminar series as part of its mission to provide learning and networking opportunities for professionals and students of development education, global learning, global citizenship and education for sustainable development.
Events are held either online or around the Bloomsbury campus, and are free and open to staff, students, alumni and the public. All are welcome to attend. Many of the events are filmed and made available on the event pages.
ANGEL webinar series
The DERC partnership project Academic Network on Global Education & Learning, which aims to build an international community of researchers and scholars, policymakers, and practitioners in the field of Global Education, runs a regular series of short, research-focused online events each academic year. The full schedule is released at the beginning of the Autumn term, with around six events spread across the year, providing a platform for critical debate on various pertinent topics.
Conferences
The centre aims to run regular events to provide learning and networking opportunities for professionals and students of development education, global learning and global citizenship. This includes an annual conference, regular topical seminars and workshops. We can also help facilitate and promote events run by partner organisations.
