Dr. Franziska Bonna, Marija Cubalevska and Gabriela Hotes joined the conference. Marija Cubalevska, a research associate and doctoral candidate at the University of Bremen, presented contents of her PhD thesis in a guest lecture: "Teaching in Transit: Discursive Practices in Language Education Programs on the Periphery of Europe and their Implications for Inclusive Adult Education".
The conference also featured workshops on promoting inclusion and diversity consciousness, including "Embracing Diversity: Promoting Inclusivity in Higher Education through religious Understanding" by Ali Akbar & Rubi Mahmaood (University of Derby, UK) and "Exploring Intersectionality and Positionality: Reflections on Identity and Privilege" by Ceren Abacıoğlu (University of Amsterdam, NL).
After the last joint meeting of the international project group in İzmir, the training modules will be revised one last time based on the evaluation results before the project is going to end in August 2023.
