If you are looking for an informal yet stimulating virtual space to exchange or explore new ideas, start conversations and develop new or unexpected connections, search no more and join our Tea Time Talks (TTT), a new online initiative from the TRC Lab.

TTT welcomes everyone – whether you're a graduate student, researcher, or seasoned professional – who is seeking meaningful connections and a welcoming space that encourages open, dynamic, and thought-provoking conversations.

TTT is a creative space where ideas take shape, evolve, and inspire. It’s a playground for intellectual exploration, offering a supportive environment to test concepts, exchange perspectives, and refine thoughts. Our conversationsrevolve around the golden research threads of the TRC Lab (time, space, rhythm, complexity, rhythmic intelligence, rhythmanalysis) and the themes that ground the work conducted at the Sunkhronos Institute (transformation, transition, emancipatory education, critical pedagogy, life histor...

EPALE is a European, multilingual, open membership community of adult learning professionals, including thousands of adult educators and trainers, guidance and support staff, researchers and academics, and policymakers. It is funded by the Erasmus+ programme and it is part of the European Union’s strategy to promote more and better learning opportunities for all adults.

This Fall EPALE is organizing is 2024 Community Conference online, on October 15, 16 and 17.

Michel Alhadeff-Jones will be one of the three keynote speakers invited to discuss his contribution on time, space and emancipatory education. In his speech, he will address questions such as: How can educational practices be redesigned to take into consideration the natural rhythms of human development and modern society's evolving dynamics? Can education help people give meaning to the temporal pressures they experience and truly liberate them from power structures that impose unsustainable cadences on them?Michel Alhadeff...

The Sunkhronos Institute is proud to support the upcoming ESREA STREAM Network 2024 Research Symposium Series. This series of webinars will focus on the theme of transitions.

In this first STREAM Network webinars series, Michel Alhadeff-Jones, Fadia Dakka and Sabine Schmidt-Lauff, invite scholars from a broad range of disciplines to address transitional phenomena by mobilizing the conceptual nuance and richness encapsulated in related notions, such as “liminality”, "life course", “transgression”, "professional development", “virtualization”, “hybridity” and “dissipation”. These, in turn, will serve as entry points to articulate, debate and question how individuals and communities experience transitions. The seminars will be guided by (but not limited to) questions such as:

• How do we experience transitions? How do we learn from them?
• How do we theorize transitional processes? How do we anticipate them?
• How can we better navigate changes through calibration?
• How do we conceive the...

Spaces, Times & the Rhythms of Adult Education is a new research symposium series hosted by Dr. Michel Alhadeff-Jones, Dr. Fadia Dakka, and Dr. Gaia Del Negro at the Sunkhronos Institute, running from January to June 2023 online. Eleven researchers from seven countries (Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Switzerland, United Kingdom) will share and discuss with the audience their research and experiences about spatial, temporal and rhythmic dimensions in education. The series aims at gathering a community of researchers, graduate students and practitioners from different linguistic, cultural and geographic areas, to join in an academic and practice-based conversation. Presentations will be made either in English or French, with live transcripts. The series will thus contribute to the advance of the TRC Lab agenda of research and foster the study of rhythmic intelligence and its modalities of development.

Registration is free and open to everyone at this link: https://www.sunkhron...
