IDEA is thrilled to invite you to our 2025 Research Showcase, " Pathways to decolonial practices in GCE” on Thursday, 20 November, 10.00 - 11.30am, online. This year’s theme is inspired by Principle 3 of the CODE of Good Practice for Development Education, “Being explicit about the Ethos of Development Education – global solidarity, empathy and partnership.” This has always been a central element of IDEA’s work. and is core to the practice of each of our members

Challenging unequal power relations across all issues is something we all strive for, but how can we commit to this principle even further? How can we step outside of our comfort zone? We want to use this year’s Showcase as an opportunity to dig deeper into our engagement with communities affected by injustice. How can these knowledge partnerships be conducted in a way that recognises and addresses inequal power relations?

Can finding ethical ways to incorporate indigenous knowledge help us re-shift the balance of power differentials in our practice? What are the risks and what are the opportunities of embedding decolonising theoretical framework in our work, and what does this look like in practice? Can spotlighting non-Western ways of doing and learning allow for better representation, help us reflect on our own positionality, and offer new educational frameworks for us to explore? 

These are some of the questions we will be exploring with our speakers in this interactive online session. The showcase is also an opportunity to explore current Global Citizenship Education research, meet academics and explore the applicability of the research to your own practice.
