International Conference FISM
The aim of the international conference 'Failing Identities, Schools and Migrations - Teaching in (Trans-)National Constellations' (Uni Bremen, October 2018), was a critical reflection upon of the role of pedagogy in (trans-)national constellations of teaching and learning resulting from global migration processes. The focus was on school education and on teacher education as a central field of linking academic and practical discourses. The aim of the conference was to facilitate a productive international exchange on the question of how appropriate professional practices are situated in the context of migration societies and to consider different national contexts with their specific conditions.
The conference was funded by the Mercator Foundation, the DFG, the Wolfgang Ritter Foundation and the Hertie Foundation.

As part of her research semester, Yasemin Karaka?o?lu accepted the invitation of our cooperation partners Prof. Dr. Akiko Ito and Prof. Dr. Hitoshi Sato from the University of Fukuoka and presented the Bremen model to the members of her research group on the “Importance of diversity in teacher education in international comparison”. The hybrid event, which was attended by colleagues from the USA, New Zealand and Sweden, led to a lively exchange about the different national attributions of meaning to diversity and inclusion. The colleagues are planning a return visit to Bremen in 2025 to further develop a joint research project.You can find the announcement of the lecture HERE
