2025 Research Showcase: Pathways to Decolonial Practices in Global Citizenship Education

Date: Thursday 20 November, 10.00 - 11.30am

Location: Online

IDEA is thrilled to invite you to our 2025 Research Showcase, "Pathways to decolonial practices in Global Citizenship Education” on Thursday, 20 November, 10.00 - 11.30am, online. This year’s theme is inspired by Principle 3 of the CODE of Good Practice for Development Education, “Be explicit about the ethos of Development Education – global solidarity, empathy and partnership, and challenging unequal power relations across all issues we work on.” This has always been a central element of quality Global Citizenship Education and the practice of IDEA members.

Challenging unequal power relations across all issues is something we all strive for in Global Citizenship Education, but how can we embed this Principle even further in our educational practice? This year’s Showcase will be an opportunity to dig deeper into our engagement with communities affected by injustice.

Speakers include Dr Tanya Wendt Samu, a senior lecturer in the School of Critical Studies in Education, Faculty of Education & Social Work, University of Auckland, and Dr Sandrine Uwase Ndahiro, who has published extensively on race, identity, and the Anthropocene.

The speakers will share their expertise on pathways to shift the balance of power differentials in our practice, as well as related risks and opportunities. We will discuss the importance of indigenous knowledge and decolonial theoretical frameworks and explore what these look like in practice. We hope to equip participants with tools for meaningful representation and help them reflect on their own positionality.

The showcase is also an opportunity to explore current Global Citizenship Education research, meet academics and explore the applicability of the research to your own practice.

More information about speakers to come soon!
