The Global Network of Deans of Education (GNDE) is undertaking several global activities as part of its work to support Deans of Education. These include the networking activities listed below on this page and the representation activities noted on this page of this web site.

GNDE Networking Activities:

  • mapping out national and regional associations of education deans and their current activities

  • communicating with all faculties of education to invite their participation in the network

  • a side meeting at the conference of the American Education Research Association (AERA) held from 5-9 April 2019 in Toronto, Canada

  • participating in the consortium of groups working on teacher education/development related to health and social development convened by the FRESH Partnership (a committee of UN agencies, donors and NGO’s)

  • collaborating with the Global Learning Equity Network led by the University of Newcastle in Australia

  • planning a Strategic Workshop on 'The Essential Role of Faculties of Education in Serving Students, Communities, States, Countries and the Global Community' at the University of Innsbruck, Austria from 24-27 May 2020 (by invitation).  Due to worldwide concerns about health and wellbeing this meeting was cancelled.  In early 2022, discussions on this event have been resumed; more details to follow.
