This weekend, professors and education specialists from the world's leading publishers such as Oxford University Press, National Geographic Learning and Cambridge University attended the annual conference organised by Fischer International in partnership with Dan Voiculescu Foundation for the Development of Romania.
The theme of this edition was: "The impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on education and rethinking its role in the digital age". The event, now in its 16th year, is dedicated to teachers from different disciplines, as well as parents concerned about contemporary perspectives on education. Teachers and parents found out about the latest developments in the field and how to develop their children's skills and competences.
One of the Romanian speakers present on the first day of the event was the psychologist and psychotherapist Gabriela Maalouf, expert of the FDVDR Club of Excellence, who explained to the participants how important is the moment when the child comes into contact with technology and how important it is for parents to weigh well the benefits and dangers in order to establish clear and beneficial rules for their children.
"We access the internet and have no idea what to think about artificial intelligence. Some say it's dangerous for children others say it's beneficial. The fact is that each perspective is a personal one and reality is hard to capture in these cases.
This is why it is important to attend such conferences because here we see all the perspectives and we can as parents and teachers learn to become more responsible in educating our children and students," said Gabriela Maalouf.
Among the foreign speakers who presented the latest learning methods in the context of the digital age, we mention Eric Baber Director of Professional Learning and Development at Cambridge Publishing, Akis Panayi, English teacher and contributor to Hamilton House, teacher, trainer and author, contributor to National Geographic Learning.
The Dan Voiculescu Foundation for the Development of Romania and Fischer International support Romanian education, year after year, by organising events that became now a tradition. The partnership between the two entities always generates educational programs that support continuous training in the field of education benefiting from the latest information in the field.
