The 18th annual EAPRIL conference will be jointly organised by EAPRIL and PXL University of Applied Sciences and Arts and will revolve around the theme ‘The network works. Fostering authentic learning and community engagement.’
PXL University of Applied Sciences and Arts is committed to an educational concept rooted in authenticity, innovation, and co-creation, exemplified by the PXL-MiXed learning model. This model aligns with contemporary educational theories, emphasizing authentic learning and collaboration with the working field to redefine the educational experience. At the core of PXL’s educational philosophy is the PXL model, a framework that integrates authentic context, professional processes, and critical reflection, ensuring a seamless blend of theoretical knowledge and practical application. This model prioritizes continuous coordination and balance between learning environments and the professional field. Five clusters of activities, ranging from discipline-based development to practice-oriented research, provide a diverse and comprehensive learning experience. By implementing authentic learning, we are not just preparing students theoretically but committing to equip them with the skills and knowledge crucial for success in real-world complexities. The collaboration-focused model emphasizes bridging the gap between academic theory and practical application, empowering students to thrive in evolving professional landscapes. PXL invites educational researchers and practitioners to explore the potential benefits and challenges of learning with the working field. Through collaboration, shared insights, and a commitment to innovation, we aim to contribute to the broader conversation on educational practices that inspire a lifelong love for learning.
The mission of EAPRIL aligns seamlessly with the theme of 'The network works. Fostering authentic learning and community engagement.' Both entities share a dedication to enhancing learning experiences through practice-based research and community collaboration. EAPRIL's commitment to bridging practice, research, and policy resonates with PXL's emphasis on authenticity, innovation, and co-creation. As PXL invites educational researchers and practitioners to explore the potential benefits and challenges of learning in collaboration with the working field, EAPRIL's supportive community becomes a catalyst for shared insights, collaboration, and the advancement of innovative educational practices.
