Call for abstracts
At the World Congress, three rounds of workshops/sessions will take place, designed for social educators to learn from each other. Think of it as a professional jam session, where you can share your knowledge and experiences with colleagues from around the world. What are you particularly skilled at in your role? How has your work positively impacted the individuals you support? We hope that your workshop/session will inspire your social educator colleagues and bring new perspectives to the field.
To host a workshop/session, you need to submit an abstract, which will be reviewed by the Aieji World Congress Program Committee.
