Innovation for Resilience – New Approaches to Basic Skills Provision in the Post-COVID Era

Veranstalter: European Basic Skills Network

Following the COVID lockdown period we found it very important to offer the pos­si­bi­li­ty for our members and the inte­re­sted pro­fes­sio­nals to meet again phy­si­cal­ly and have a real con­fe­rence. As announced earlier, together with our Maltese member and partner, the Directorate for Research, Lifelong Learning and Employability (DRLLE) from the Ministry for Education, MFED we managed to agree on the orga­nizati­on of a pre­sen­ti­al con­fe­rence in Valletta, Malta.

7th Crossing Boundaries Conference

Learning Across Continents: Conversations in a divided world

VETNET

Topics:

  • How do we understand the role of VET in preparing young people for work when labour markets and workplaces are in flux nationally and internationally?
  • Is this changing the nature of VET and VET curricula? Is it raising new questions on work, labour markets and education? What is core to VET that is stable across different contexts?
  • Are systems looking more similar or more different from each other?
  • What are the main factors—such as workplace organisation, changing labour markets, changing enrolment in schools and universities, and the nature of economies that are influencing different aspects of VET provision—such as curriculum, governance, partnerships, enrollment patterns—in different countries?
  • How do we connect better as researchers, and use VET research to build connection?

NordYrk 2027

Embracing Diversity in Vocational Education and Training (VET)

Umeå University

Vocational Education and Training (VET) in the Nordic countries is shaped by strong welfare traditions, close relationships between education and working life, and longstanding ambitions of equality, inclusion and high‑quality education for all. Nevertheless, Nordic VET systems display substantial variation and complexity, influenced by social, demographic, pedagogical and structural differences across countries, regions, institutions and vocational fields. The 2027 NORDYRK conference Embracing Diversity in VET invites researchers, practitioners and policymakers to explore how such diversity shapes the conditions, opportunities and challenges of VET.   The Call for abstracts opens on November 11, 2026 and closes on January 31, 2027. Registration is required.
