Social inequalities, diversity resulting from migration, digitalisation and new family structures are challenging schools’ established systems and calling for structural change. Flexibility can help with this transition, but how can it be promoted, shaped and utilised? The 33rd School Management Conference offers guidance on this issue.

In the introductory lecture, Prof. Dr Aladin El-Mafaalani
(TU Dortmund), one of the most distinguished sociologists specialising in education and migration, will take a sociological look at the development of our society and link this with findings from educational research. The 16 subsequent keynote sessions will present examples of ‘spaces of freedom’ from various types of school, as well as concepts for developing such spaces.

• Methods for participatory school development
• Innovative concepts for self-directed, personalised learning
• Ideas for the future of teaching, classroom practice and school models.

Join us in looking forward to our experts!
