European Round Table "Human Education in the Third Millennium: Problems, Goals, and Values of Education in the Modern World"
was held on September 29, 2022 as part of the international forum "Human Education in the 3rd Millennium. The European Round Table was organized by University of Eichstaett-Ingolstadt and the "Human Education in the 3rd Millennium" Initiative and moderated by Prof. Dr. Krassimir Stojanov, Chair of Philosophy of Education and Educational Theory at the University of Eichstaett-Ingolstadt.
The basis for discussion at the forum was the draft declaration being developed - a document of collective professional solidarity in the face of problems in the world. The main ideas of the draft declaration were developed at the Initiative Round Table Conference in Dharamsala, India, in July 2019 concluded with the decision to initiate a World Forum and then in the activities of the “Human Education in the 3rd Millennium” Project Group.
The exponential scientific and technological progress and the growing interdependence of a globalized world are great opportunities for education, but also challenges, reinforced by growing problems regarding nature, the complexities of contemporary social life and contradictions within and between states. However, education do not sufficiently cultivate understanding minds and especially the „hearts‟ and the ability for social and civic engagement of students in ways, which would enable them to successfully address these problems.
The aim of the European division of the Forum was to enrich the collective global understanding in terms of the current landscape of education in Europe, to clarify possibilities for furthering universal human values, and to identify the necessary approaches to education that support solidarity, justice, care, cooperation, love, freedom, equality, and diversity. In particular, strategies to preserve and further develop humanized education were discussed on the background of two urgent threats:
(1) The marketization of education and its colonialization by managerial logics and technics
(2) The instrumentalization of education by totalitarian, populist and nationalist ideologies
The range of participants included philosophers and scholars, representing diverse regions of Europe.
The version of the draft declaration finalized by 12/22/2022
following the results of the European Round Table - discussions at the round table meeting itself
