ANGEL Conference 2026

The XI International ANGEL Conference will take place on 10–11 September 2026 at the University of Bologna, bringing together academics, researchers, policymakers and practitioners engaged in the field of Global Education and Global Citizenship Education.

At a time of profound global uncertainty—marked by war, environmental crises, deepening inequalities, and the rise of nationalism and authoritarianism—the conference aims to reflect on the role of global education and learning as a force for peace, justice and collective action. The event will explore questions of power, voice and purpose in global education, including whose knowledge is valued, whose futures are imagined, and how global learning can move beyond rhetoric towards meaningful and transformative practice.

Guided by the commitments of the Dublin Declaration – The European Declaration on Global Education to 2050, the conference will encourage interdisciplinary dialogue and critical engagement across research, policy and practice. Particular attention will be given to perspectives emerging from decolonial, feminist, indigenous and Global South scholarship, as well as to the challenges of translating research and evidence into educational action through innovative methodologies, evaluation and pedagogical approaches.

The conference will also address the implications of rapid technological change, including digitalisation and artificial intelligence, and their intersection with global justice, environmental sustainability and equitable futures.

Researchers, educators, practitioners and policymakers are invited to submit proposals for individual paper presentations (15–20 minutes), symposia, workshops or other special sessions. Abstracts should demonstrate a clear connection to the conference themes and to the broader field of global education and learning. All sessions will take place in person and in English.

The deadline for submissions is 13 April 2026. All proposals will be double-blind peer reviewed, and applicants will receive notification by 4 May 2026.
