The Cyprus Pedagogical Institute of the Ministry of Education, Sports and Youth, in collaboration with the University of Cyprus, announces the organization of the 5th International Conference "Literacy and Contemporary Society", on the theme:
Creativity, Equality, Social Action
The Conference will take place on 4-5-6 December 2023, at the University of Cyprus, in Nicosia.
The 5th International Conference "Literacy and Contemporary Society: Creativity, Equality, Social Action" is being organized at a time of fluidity and complexity, in which both human lives and social well-being are threatened. Conflicts continue and are sustained, natural disasters call upon our humanism, technologies constantly create new realities, constituting spaces of opportunity and uncertainty, while education as a right and as an institution is called upon to readjust to social crises, both local and global. In such a phase of turmoil, literacy - in its pluralistic, social and critical dimension - can provide an essential basis and starting point for the restructuring of practices, institutions and societies.
Focusing on the theme "Creativity, Equality, Social Action", the conference attempts to highlight the dynamic, social and critical dimension of literacy in times of crisis. The conference aims to provide a platform for discussing ways in which individuals, groups and societies can work together creatively, in order to highlight and maintain relationships of dialogicity, equality and coexistence, not only between people, but also between people and nature, matter and technology. Seeking literacies that ensure equality and (social) sustainability, the conference provides space for interested participants to consider related issues that extend beyond the boundaries of language teaching and relate to education and literacy.
The conference is addressed to teachers, students, academics, researchers, representatives of institutions and organisations with a practical interest or activity in language teaching, literacies and literacy education within and outside schools.
Interested parties can participate in the conference with presentations, symposia and workshops on the basis of the following themes:
- Literacy, Language Teaching and School Education
- Emerging Literacy and Early School Education
- Bilingualism, Multilingualism, Interlanguage and Intercultural Education
- Digital Literacy, Multilingualism and New Literacies
