NW 32 "Organizational Education" is linked to the WERA IRG on Organizational Education. Some colleagues are part of both, of EERA NW 32 and of WERA IRG.
General Activities
During spring and summer 2025, we organized two online-workshops with our young researchers convenor Kardelen Cazgir. Together with the ERC representative Lisa Bugno, we organized two introductory sessions on organizational education and to familiarize with our network. We invited new members and young researchers, to our barcamp, too, which took place during the ECER conference in Belgrade.
In October 25 the Tandem of our Network Development Board started with an event on researcher positionality – this was an interesting foundation to move on and plan an international lecture series on organizational education. This lecture series will be planned as a hybrid European approach, which might be used for teaching and learning organizational education. We plan to establish a European learning online platform.
Moreover, we plan to establish a European map of organizational education. By this, we intend to connect and network all the relevant researchers in the field of organizational learning and we intend to create an online-european map of organizational education, which will be a living map of organizational education.
Publications
As we celebrated last year our 10th anniversary event in Nikosia, Cyprus, we will be finishing the 10th anniversary book accordingly this and next year.
We plan to set up a special issue on creative research methodologies and will deliver it to the EERA journal EERJ.
Moreover, a book project on the democracy-as-becoming research workshop series is planned with Routledge.
Future Plans
At present we are applying for ECER funding in order to bring the content for the online-map of organizational education alive – and then to set up the technical conditions for the map.
Moreover, we intend to apply for ECER funding to realize the European Lecture Series, as we think it will be a very valuable approach to make organizational education research visible all over Europe and to contribute to show the specific approach and contribution of organizational education in the field of the educational discipline. We intend to make organizational learning a relevant reference point for educational research perspectives.
