1996 - Network Founded
Network 7 has operated since the ECER conference in Seville in 1996. The idea of the network came about through discussions between Morwenna Griffiths, Ghazala Bhatti, Yvonne Leeman, and Joanna McPake at the University of Seville. Ghazala Bhatti and Joanna McPake set about writing up network descriptors before formally approaching EERA Council in 1996. Since the end of the 1990s Ghazala Bhatti, Chris Gaine, Francesca Gobbo and Yvonne Leeman have been the convenors of the network.
The focus of the network has not really changed very much over the years, although contexts have changed. There is less money for research into intercultural education and more money now for research in citizenship education, and there is European money for comparisons between countries.
