3rd WERA-IRN Conference Extended Education

Extended Education in Thriving Communities: Toward a Sustainable Future

The third WERA-IRN Extended Education Conference at the University of Iceland in Reykjavik will be held 23-25 September 2021.

In light of developments of the COVID-19 worldwide pandemic, the Icelandic conference committee, along with the network chairs, has come to the conclusion that the only option is to postpone the Reykjavik Conference, originally scheduled for September 2020, for one year.

All accepted submissions to the conference will be valid and welcomed in the Reykjavík Conference in September 2021. There will also be an additional call for abstracts at the end of this year.

The aim of the conference is to explore the multiple ways in which extended education programs, research and theories help communities and individuals prepare for a sustainable future — a future that involves educating responsible and active citizens.

Organizing committee: Prof. Dr. Kolbrún Þ. Pálsdóttir, Árni Guðmundsson, Eygló Rúnarsdóttir, Katrín Johnson and Ruth Jörgensdóttir Rauterberg
