    Nordyrk Conference 2024

    Evolving VET: Navigating traditions and transformations

    Veranstalter: Nordic research network on vocational education and training

    The theme of the con­fe­rence high­lights ine­s­ca­pa­ble tensions embedded in evolving voca­tio­nal education and training (VET). These tensions stem from navi­ga­ting the history of the field and its mission as well as addres­sing the ever-changing needs and chal­lenges of society. The long history of voca­tio­nal education in the Nordic countries ine­vi­ta­b­ly leaves its mark on the field, as societal and insti­tu­tio­nal tra­di­ti­ons often determine the para­me­ters of change. At the same time VET must respond to rapid changes in society and working life brought about by dynamic forces such as tech­no­lo­gi­cal deve­lo­p­ments, changing demo­gra­phics, academic drift, climate change and other global challenges.

    The purpose of the con­fe­rence is to present and discuss current research and deve­lo­p­men­tal projects related to voca­tio­nal education and training, as well as to meet, exchange ideas, and find oppor­tu­ni­ties for future collaboration.

    The con­fe­rence will be held in Reykjavík, Iceland at the University of Iceland.

    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?
