Social justice in and through educations

Scholars have adopted a wide range of conceptualisations of social justice to analyse how (in)justices play out in different forms of education (formal, non-formal and informal), and how educations can contribute to social (in)justice. However, two factors are missing in these approaches: young people’s perspective and interdisciplinarity.The aim of the project was to build on, and extend, the previous research on the topic to develop youth-led and interdisciplinary understandings of social justice in and through educations. Our final event will provide the opportunity to have an exchange of perspectives between a group of young people from different countries, and academics. They will be engaged in some activities in order to have an active role in the shaping of a new concept of social justice in and through educations.

Anyone interested is welcome to join us!
