The sustainable development goal 4, Quality Education, defined by the United Nations, defines, among others, the following guiding axes by 2030:
• Eliminate gender disparities in education and ensure equal access to all levels of education and vocational training for the most vulnerable, including people with disabilities, indigenous peoples and children in vulnerable situations;
• Ensure that all students acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to promote sustainable development, for example through sustainable development education and lifestyles, human rights, gender equality, the promotion of a culture of peace and non-violence, global citizenship, the enhancement of cultural diversity and the contribution of culture to sustainable development.

With these concerns in mind, the 1st International Conference on Continuing Teacher Training, promoted by continUA – Center for Lifelong Learning of the University of Aveiro, between 2 and 3 February 2023, aims to foster the debate on inclusion and equity in education, focusing on the achievements and challenges of the training of educators/teachers and other professionals.

Having as main theme “Inclusion and equity in education – achievements and challenges for the training of educators/teachers and other professionals, participation in the conference will become a space of extended dialogue, where we will seek to confront ideas, projecting them for the near future, and finding solutions. A few experts will be gathered, who have already charted a path to more inclusive and equitable education, roundtables and lectures on the latest scientific research will be organized.

Because it is considered that this 1st International Conference of Teachers Continuous Education (ICTCE 2023) will have an impact on the training of educators and teachers, it will be accredited for the purpose of progression in the teaching career. Please find all the necessary information here.
