The 15th World Congress

There is a pervasive sense that knowledge and education will define the future of humanity, countries and peoples.

The XV World Congress of the WCCES, to be held in Buenos Aires 24-28 June 2013, has been conceptualized under the theme of New Times, New Voices—across world regions, languages and cultures. The 12 Thematic Groups will cover such concepts as:

• new theoretical and methodological voices in comparative education,
• voices from Latin America and the “South”,
• new perspectives on the state, the global and the local,
• voices from the grassroots, gendered voices, minorities,
• voices from the school community, and the adult learning community,
• academic voices, public policy, internationalization,
• new times for curriculum, public education, democratization,
• voices and language policy,
• voices from the new media, and
• voices from countries in conflict or fragility.

The organizers of the 15th World Congress of WCCES are delighted to be hosting a plethora of exciting conversations with key scholars, teachers, educators, activists, and consultants from every corner of our world.
