Host: University West, Sweden

Location: Trollhättan, Sweden

Conference dates: June 17-19, 2025

Submission deadline: March 15, 2025


The event aims at interrogating and re-envisioning the shared roots of working and learning, to make them relevant in the face of current global challenges and for transforming human activities to sustain lives and the planet. Work is here understood in a broad sense, including the work of learners, teachers, patients and caregivers as well as unpaid and voluntary forms of work. The conference sub-themes include, but are not restricted to, the following:

  *   Foundational issues and challenges in cultural-historical theory
  *   Learning and working in educational settings
  *   Cultural-historical studies of work-integrated learning
  *   Technological mediation and change in organizational and educational settings
  *   Digitalization and technology for societal and industrial change
  *   School development and educational change
  *   Fourth generation cultural-historical activity theory and enacted utopias
  *   Studies in transformative agency
  *   Formative interventions and expansive learning

Cultural-historical activity theory has often been applied in studies of Work-integrated Learning<https://www.hv.se/en/research/research-environments/area-of-strength-work-integrated-learning/> reflecting the overall profile as well as the area of strength of University West.



The conference welcomes researchers, students, practitioners and working life and industrial partners internationally to present results of their work, attending workshops, exchanging know-how, as well as building new relationships and strengthening existing networks. In this spirit, the conference will also offer a forum for further development and productive discussion on principles and applications of the fourth generation of CHAT. This is at the core of the agenda of the Center for Activity Theory at University West<https://www.hv.se/forskning/forskningsmiljoer/arbetsintegrerat-larande/center-for-aktivitetsteori/?sq=center+for+activity+theory>.



Warmly welcome,

The organizing team at University West
