IICEHawaii2018 Conference Theme: “Surviving and Thriving: Education in Times
of Change”

In 2017, IAFOR education conferences in Asia, Europe and North America have
brought together delegates from around the world to consider the theme of
“Educating for Change” from a variety of different perspectives and approaches,
taking full advantage of the international make-up of the attendees and the huge
diversity of experiences. A recurring theme throughout the conferences was the
reference to the future, be it immediate or longer term, as being uncertain; the
natural resilience and optimism was counterbalanced by both apprehension; with
hope also came fear.

In this period of great global political and economic instability, rising
inequality and social unrest, the role of education within society has never
been more important, but never more vulnerable. This brings us to our conference
theme for 2018, which references these inherent vulnerabilities in both
educational systems and the individual students and teachers, as well as the
necessary resilience needed to not only survive, but also thrive.

How do we teachers, administrators and policymakers adopt and adapt to change
outside our control? How do we nurture and encourage positive change, through
the excitement of the imagination, innovation and creativity? How can
technologies be better used to help us teach, and to help students learn? How do
we sustain and manage change? How can we react positively to negative change?
How can we, our institutions and our students survive and thrive in these times
of change?

The Local Context: Hawaii and the Pacific

This unique international conference, organised in affiliation with IAFOR Global
Partners, including the University of Hawai'i at Manoa, offers a unique location
from which to consider a number of issues and trends in education, including
distance, access and rural education, the frictions between the preservation and
challenging of traditional and indigenous cultures, languages and wisdoms, and
how alternative and marginalised groups are (re)valued. The population of the
islands is multicultural and rich in the difference one would expect from its
geographical location equidistant from Asia and the Americas. As part of the US
system, the islands that make up Hawaii have a colonial past and present that
informs questions of knowledge and identity, and invites discussions of social
justice issues.

We hope and expect the 2018 conference in Hawaii will bring together educators
from around the world to exchange ideas, research and practice from their own
backgrounds and contexts, and to draw on and be inspired by the local and
international body of delegates from an expected 40 different national
backgrounds.

In conjunction with our Global Partners, including the University of Hawai'i at
Manoa, we look forward to extending you a warm welcome in 2018.
