On September 24, the Institute of Family Sciences of the Pontifical University of John Paul II in Krakow and the Institute of Educational Sciences of the Pedagogical University of the National Education Commission in Krakow are organizing a scientific conference “Categories (not) present in education. Upbringing – Education – Development”.

The second scientific conference in the series “Categories (not) present in education” will focus on the optimization of the process of education and upbringing, with particular emphasis on the experience of an individual leading to its development and self-acceptance, which becomes an extremely topical issue in the era of modern changes.

The aim of the conference is reflection on categories (not) present in the field of contemporary education. During the event, papers and analyzes will focus on two trends:

Categories present in education, but evolving due to the specificity and nature of the epoch (e.g. subjectivity, identity, development, activity, threat, pathology, relationships, disorders and others).

Categories absent in education, i.e. those that are overlooked, underestimated or even ignored (e.g. ambivalence, uncertainty, educational errors, utopia, mindfulness, dignity, person, meaning, everyday life, silence, gamification and others).
