7th Nordic Conference on Cultural and Activity Research
A Nordic Perspective on the Cultural and the Activity Approach in Theory and Practice
The Nordic countries have a strong theoretical and practice tradition of cultural-historical approaches to investigating and/or intervening human practices and everyday life. These include early childhood learning and play, children’s school life and education, youth life, as well as work life and organization of processes.
The 7th Nordic conference, June 16-18 2016, provides a cross-disciplinary forum for exchanging ideas, exploring common interests, addressing various theoretical, practice-related, and societal issues, as well as for establishing new possibilities for collaboration among researchers and practitioners who share an interest in cultural-historical approaches.
