The Power Of Protest

The power of protest in education lies in the fact that it is, by definition, a public act. Protest allows people facing injustice to generate power through collective action. As a community of Comparative and International Education researchers, teachers, activists, programme developers or organisers, how might we engage with, and think generatively about, the histories, curriculum, theories and methodologies, and pedagogies that guide acts of protest? The CIES 2024 Conference aims to inspire debates, dialogues, and future collective actions.

Simona Popa, Head, Knowledge Production UNESCO-IBE, will be at the CIES 2024 conference in person from March 7-14
