International Workshop Series: THE NEW NORMAL
With 2021, a further year of living and working under pandemic conditions came to an end. The situation at schools and universities has presented challenges and opportunities within teacher education.
The international workshop series THE NEW NORMAL: CHALLENGES AND CHANCES FOR SCHOOLS, TEACHERS AND STUDENTS, brought together international partners from Poland, the Czech Republic, Israel, Hong Kong, Jordan, Japan, Indonesia, South Africa, Slovakia and the USA, to present and exchange ideas and experiences on this topic.
This virtual workshop series was organised by the IMPRESS project at ZLSB in the winter semester of 2021/22. You can view excerpts from the workshops by following the links below. To get an insight into the ideas and thoughts of the participants, please click on the following padlet.
