Organised within the framework of EUNICoast, this winter school builds on the success of the first edition and offers an interdisciplinary, practice-oriented exploration of inclusive, ethical and creative approaches to education, with a particular focus on the challenges of coastal and island contexts.
The programme brings together doctoral students, early-career researchers and educators to examine topics such as gender in education, ethical integrity, linguistic diversity, educational technology, artificial intelligence and second-chance education. Learning will be built around seminars, collaborative group work, case-based discussions and experiential activities, drawing on real-world scenarios from EUNICoast partner institutions to foster transnational exchange.
