Reimagining teachers’ work and teacher education for our futures: Global perspectives at the intersection of change, hope and crisis

The UNESCO International Commission on the Futures of Education report (‘Reimagining our futures together: A new social contract for education’, 2021) highlights the crucial role of teachers in providing quality education and shaping the critical knowledge, competences and skills that are necessary for our futures. The report urges for a new social contract in education to repair injustices while transforming the future.

To explore these critical issues, the “Reimagining Teachers and Teacher Education” conference (June 2024) opened up a forum for researchers, teacher educators, teachers, representatives of civil organizations, policy makers and other actors involved in building a sustainable society through education.

The proposed thematic special series aims to take this effort further by opening up a space for researchers to share their work with a focus on teaching and learning about global issues.

For publication from June 2026.

Expressions of interest accepted until: 17th October 2025

Deadline for draft papers: 9th January 2026
