International Conference Rethinking How We Train Teachers of Tomorrow
15-17 September 2023
The conference aims to provide a platform for sharing and discussing effective approaches for bridging the theory-practice gap in teacher education and for exploring the challenges and opportunities in doing so. Additionally, it aims to explore new and innovative ways to prepare teachers for the challenges and opportunities of the digital age to ensure that future educators are equipped with the necessary skills, knowledge, and competencies to effectively integrate digital technology into their teaching practice and to create engaging and effective learning experiences for their students. In addition to the goals mentioned above, this conference also serves as a fundraising event to support the victims of the recent earthquakes in Turkey. We believe that by coming together as educators, we will make a change not only to the minds of the teachers of tomorrow, but also to the lives of those who have been affected by this recent tragedy.
