The aim of the workshop is to provide a venue where new areas of study in social issues of education can be explored and discussed. Issues of class, gender, disability, ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, culture and creed can sometimes present problems in the student/ teacher relationship and in student learning.

At the panel discussions, participants will present their own work and engage in debate. At the round table meetings, participants will explore a single issue in education announced by the organizers in advance.

The keynote speakers as well as round table discussions and training sessions at the workshop will be announced at a later stage. The working languages of the workshop will be Russian and English.
