LFA conference
LEARNING FROM ASIA IN EDUCATION
International conference
30 – 31 October 2023, Budapest
The „Learning from Asia in education” conference will be an outstanding knowledge building and communication event of the „Learning from Asia” project, run by the Learning Institute of Mathias Corvinus Collegium (Budapest, Hungary). The thematic focus of the conference will be defined by the “Issues Paper” developed by the Learning Institute with the support of its international project partners. The organisation of the event follows two major lines. On the one hand ten invited speakers – from Asia and Europe – will share their ideas about the theme of the conference in plenary speeches and in two panel conversations. On the other hand, Asian PhD students, studying in Hungary, will present their doctoral research from a “learning from Asia” perspective.
Participation at the conference is based on personal invitation. In case of interest, please contact our project manager, Ms. Laura Kurthy (kurthy.laura@mcc.hu), to request an invitation.
