4th International Conference on Literacy and Contemporary Society: Transitions in Digital Learning

We are pleased to announce that Registration is now available for the 4th International Conference Literacy and Contemporary Society: Transitions in Digital Learning, organized by Cyprus Pedagogical Institute, in collaboration with University of Cyprus. The Conference will be held virtually on 12-13 May 2021.  

The Conference focuses on the transformation of learning, being and communicating, as an inherent characteristic of modern societies but as yet intensified due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the past year. The pandemic has accelerated the utilization of new literacy forms, practices, and spaces, and hybridized new and traditional literacies. The wide transition to digital learning and communication exacerbated the need to engage critically with text and information, while also making visible broader challenges that have long permeated education and society. The Conference aims to provide a forum to also discuss broader limitations and potentials in the (re)constitution of literacy, being, and learning in contemporary societies.

The Conference features a series of prominent speakers from diverse geographical, research, and educational contexts, and addresses teachers, undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral students, academics and researchers.

The languages of the Conference are Greek and English, with simultaneous interpretation offered for all sessions. Registration is free and will be done on a first come, first served basis due to limited availability. Participants can request their certificates of participation upon completion of the Conference.
