Learning for Entrepreneurship: A Global Citizen perspective

You are invited to participate in the 2019 eucen Autumn Seminar in Barcelona, 14-15 November 2019. The seminar will focus on entrepreneurial thinking in lifelong learning that expands our perceptions of entrepreneurship for a more inclusive and sustainable future. University Lifelong Learning and Adult Education can play an important role in reaching the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. The SDGs place future proofing human society to the fore, which demands radical new perspectives and practices. Entrepreneurs are people who see and act on opportunities not readily apparent to others. In the carbon-neutral, digital age of the Fourth Industrial Revolution driven by the rise of artificial intelligence, we will need people who can see opportunities for sustained planetary flourishing beyond a narrow profit paradigm.

The 2019 eucenAutumn Seminar will include three interactive workshops on: World Citizenship; Citizen Science; and the Development of Micro-Enterprises with displaced and vulnerable populations. It will also include keynote talks, research papers and posters. It will overlap with the final symposium of the VINCE (Validation for inclusion of new citizens of Europe) project https://vince.eucen.eu – the VINCE symposium is a free and open event.

Participation: The Autumn Seminar is aimed at Lifelong Learning practitioners and researchers. It will have a strongly practical orientation.

Call: An open call for research papers and/or posters related to the seminar theme and sub-topics will be launched in mid-June 2019 with a deadline of 30 September 2019 from https://eucenstudies.eucen.eu

Fees: 220€ for eucen members. 250€ for non-eucen members.

Further details: events@eucen.eu| www.eucen.eu
