An invitation to express interest in presenting at the HEIA(Q) 2022 State Conference (Closes 4 March 2022)
Members of HEIA are invited to submit an expression interest to present at HEIA(Q)’s state conference, to be held at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre on Saturday 13 August 2022; and/or encourage non-members they know to express an interest.
Conference theme: Home Economics 2022—Towards global competence
Global Competence can be defined as the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviours needed to thrive in today’s interconnected world (World Savvy, 2022). In 2022, the United Nations Sustainable Goals are a priority area for all home economics professionals, while the concept of global competence overarches, supports and strengthens the work we do in that area. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (2018) explains that globally competent individuals can examine local, global and intercultural issues; understand and appreciate different perspectives and world views of others; engage in open, appropriate and effective interactions across cultures; and take action for collective wellbeing and sustainable development. To fulfil these lofty aspirations, we need to move beyond just surviving and work towards thriving. We must be willing to unite, to support each other in the interests of both thriving and developing global competence in our personal and professional lives, and in future generations. Achieving global competence as our ultimate goal is a collective work in action, a goal which if achieved, will be our legacy to future generations as they navigate the second half of the 21st century. The HEIA(Q) 2022 conference will explore how to thrive and not just survive, and explore those aspects of global competence that are most pertinent to home economics practitioners.
