A program track for vocational teachers and trainers

The Nordyrk network is committed to enhancing the connection between research and practice and serving different target groups – including teachers and others working in this diverse educational sector. For this reason, the Nordyrk 2024 conference will have a special one-day track specifically intended for vocational teachers and trainers (on Tuesday June 4).

The presentations in this track will focus on issues especially relevant to VET teachers and trainers. The presentations can for example describe ongoing development work: what was seen as a challenge or problem, what was designed to improve practices, and what kind of outcomes are expected or have been observed. The purpose of the track is to provide an opportunity to discuss on-going practice-oriented work with other experts in the field.

Authors are encouraged to indicate whether their contribution is particularly relevant to these practitioners in the field of VET.
