There’s a lot going on this month in ALDinHE with our annual conference taking place fully online this year, 7 – 9th April 2021. If you haven’t yet booked, you can do so from our dedicated conference website. This 19th edition of our well-established and expanding annual conference is focused around four broad strands:

  • 1. Advocacy for Learning Development
  • 2. Creativity for change
  • 3. Embracing diversity
  • 4. Digital equality

We have an exciting programme at this conference that will allow members to reflect upon and celebrate our past accomplishments, renew friendships and extend our networks, and jointly explore current and future research directions in learning development.  We hope that you will have a productive and fun‐filled time at this very special conference. Watch the short clip below for an overview.
