The Media & Learning Association’s 10th annual conference took place on 20-21 June 2023 in Leuven, Belgium . We celebrated our anniversary by learning from one another, getting inspired and changing the way people think about media in education!
Our theme Media & Learning 2023: Where pedagogy meets media took into account one of the most challenging tasks that educators face, namely how to incorporate media in all its manifestations into the learning process in the most efficient and effective way.
Media & Learning 2023 was loaded with opportunities to share experience, discuss challenges and debate solutions as well to catch up with old friends and colleagues and meet new people.
This face-to-face conference was organised jointly between the Media & Learning Association and KU Leuven and took place in the heart of Leuven, Belgium.
