Dear Community Members,
The Global Learning for an Open World Conference Call for Proposals is open and rolling acceptances start August 15th! Submit your session proposal early to access our booking calendar for the conference and choose your ideal presentation time slot.
What types of proposals are ideal for the GLOW Conference? Here are some questions to consider when designing your proposals.
- How can we prepare students and educators to be engaged citizens of the world? Drawing upon definitions of global competence from World Savvy, the Asia Society, and the OECD, sessions should focus on topics related to the skills, values, and habits of mind that prepare students and educators to thrive in a more diverse, interconnected world.
- What activities, projects, and initiatives will help educators and students develop connections, competencies, and creative skills?
Remember that our conference theme is developing connections, competencies, and creativity.
- What does innovation in education look like around the world?
Consider submitting proposals that showcase innovative best practices in education. Let’s inspire others with stories about bold and creative initiatives.
- How do formal and informal learning institutions incorporate lessons from the global pandemic?
Think about submitting proposals that help others debrief about the impact of the pandemic on educational ecosystems.
- How can organizations tackle challenges that exist in the global education world?
Our audience includes organization leaders around the world. Consider submitting proposals around strategic planning, policymaking, networking, and other related topics that will help organizations grow and thrive.
Remember, our community is about taking action in education, so proposals are required to provide some actionable advice or an invitation to act. In addition to solo presentations, consider submitting proposals with panel discussions, interviews, and other interactive formats.
If you have events and resources related to global education and innovation, please post details in our online community, and we’ll include this information in our following newsletter.
Thanks for reading,
