2026 Theme: To Know is to Act: Revisiting and rethinking learning and knowing from practice & process perspectives
In this summer school, we will revisit the shift from learning and knowing as cognitive activities toward learning and knowing as inherently participative, situated, and enactive. We will explore related notions of competence and skill development. We will critically discuss the complications and affordances brought in by technological advancements to learning and knowing, and reflect on the implications for organisations and management.
