Invitation
Movements around sustainability and ecology in
the past decade changed our approaches and
thinking in radical and inclusive ways.
Sustainable strategies include the flexibility
offered by ICT-supported solutions. Smart use of
ICTs in learning is one of the vital factors in
making our world more sustainable.
Sustainable e-learning linked to professional
development is based on organic organizational and
pedagogic perspectives, while using ecologically
appropriate technological solutions.
The role of innovative learning as critical
awareness raising factor for global sustainability
links organically to education around
understanding the contexts of ecological
challenges.
The aim of the 2011 EDEN conference is to
highlight different ways and approaches, in order
to integrate better the concept of responsible
and sustainable development within learning,
in its widest sense.
We invite EDEN members,
partners and friends – old and new ones – to
take part in discovering the exciting conference
topic from a diversity of points of interest.
The EDEN Anniversary
Year 2011 marks the 20th Anniversary of EDEN
launched in 1991 in Milton Keynes. The jubilee
conference will offer great opportunity for the
EDEN community, friends and partners to celebrate
and also to draw the balance of the first two
decades and look ahead for the prosperous
development of ICT supported learning in Europe.
Conference Venue, Dublin
The EDEN 2011 Conference will be
organized with a unique constellation of
supportive features and collaborating
institutions. The host country will be
Ireland – for a generation, a symbolic
region of Europe for innovation and
development, both in technology and the
society.
The Irish capital, Dublin has very few
rivals in Europe for atmosphere, night
life, visitor attractions and
activities. Steeped in history and
buzzing with youthful energy, the city
is at the very heart of Irish culture.
Dublin is also home to one of the
friendliest people in the world.
The host institution: IADT – the Dun
Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design &
Technology - is positively energized
with new ideas and creativity
and represents a unique and pioneering
approach to education programmes and
sustainable learning.
The pleasant surroundings and
excellent convention facilities of the
conference venue, University
College Dublin, will ensure
inspiration for both
intellectual exploration, dialogue,
learning partnerships and collaboration.
