Conference on ‘EdTech for Equitable Education’ in Bengaluru on Oct. 30

IT for Change, a Bengaluru-based NGO, in collaboration with Critical EdTech India (CETI), will convene a day-long conference titled ‘EdTech for Equitable Education: Critical Conversations’ on Thursday.

The event brings together diverse voices — practitioners, academics, technologists, and civil society organizations — to reflect on how we might envision EdTech for equitable and meaningful education, said a release from the organisers of the event.

The event will begin with a keynote address by Jian Xi Teng, programme specialist for education, UNESCO, and will be followed by a series of sessions.

At 4 p.m., IT for Change at 25: Building Just Digital Futures, a film documenting 25 years of IT for Change’s work towards digital justice, will be screened.

This will be followed by a session titled ‘Reimagining Realities: A discussion on the film Humans in the Loop’ , at 5 p.m. The conversation brings together the film’s director Aranya Sahay, and renowned feminist scholar Usha Raman, University of Hyderabad, and co-founder of FemLab, to reflect on questions of AI, gender, and work, and to explore how storytelling can open new perspectives on digital futures.

All the sessions will be held at Infosys Science Foundation, Bengaluru.
