Keynote Speaker

DANIELA LEHNER

Daniela Lehner is peace education researcher and lecturer at the Department of Education Research and Teacher Education at the University of Graz in Austria. She is excited about peace education and relational pedagogical approaches. Her current research project focuses on pluriversal pedagogies of care. Daniela wants to create and formulate a teaching and learning approach that enhances learners’ ability to think, feel and act interdependently and pluriversally, allowing for the coexistence of different worlds and realities.

Daniela is passionate about teaching and wants to understand how care, peace and solidarity can be taught and learned. In her classes she works with embodied, arts-based and participatory approaches to work with various forms of knowledges. Daniela is aiming to create spaces where learners move from individual to collective meaning-making and explore new ways of being, knowing and doing that create interconnection with oneself, others and the world.
