Conference Welcome
We warmly invite you to join us at our summer in Melbourne biennial SEAA conference, January 18-20, 2012. The conference will include 'Moving around Melbourne' to allow you to experience professional learning in the field, including through our partnership with Museum Victoria (Day 1 focus), and during our sessions at the Melbourne Zoo (Day 2).
Our main conference base is at Queen's college, University of Melbourne, (Days 2 &3) which is close to the city and walking distance to trams, and the famous Carlton cafes.
The conference theme is Social Education at the Crossroads: capturing the challenges we face at local, national and global levels, to develop and implement curriculum and pedagogy that engages and prepares young people as C21st learners in times of change. In Australia, we need to have conversations about the evolving national curriculum, but our agendas are of global concern, so we look forward to participation from early childhood, primary, secondary and tertiary educators and researchers all over the world, and invite you all to submit papers and workshops: as this is a participants' conference.
We would like you to join in our debates about:
Future directions in social education, civics and citizenship education, education for sustainability, integrated curriculum, Indigenous education, global education, studies of Asia, new directions in information and communication technologies, and engaging pedagogies for the C21st century.
The conference includes: keynotes and provocation panel sessions, using ZING technology to develop a new 'Statement for Social Education', workshops and papers (refereed or non-refereed) on the key themes, a welcome reception, and conference dinner at the Leopard Lodge, Melbourne ZOO.
