About the Conference

UNEVOC- Canada in partnership with the International Centre for the
Enhancement
of
Learning Potential is hosting an international conference to be held in
Winnipeg,
Manitoba, August 18-25, 2001. The conference entitled "Unlocking Human
Potential to
Learn" is designed to introduce participants to the best practices and
innovative
approaches, strategies and techniques for teaching "learning how to learn"
skills to
children, youth and adults. Paper presentations will focus on three major
themes:
enhancing learning skills of special needs and gifted learners of diverse
cultures,
developing critical skills for lifelong learning and improving effectiveness
and
efficiency
in vocational education and workplace training.

The major focus of the conference will be Dr. Reuven Feuerstein’s work on
the
development of theories of structural cognitive modifiability and mediated
learning.

Twenty-eight papers will be presented by an international array of speakers,

applications
of instrumental
enrichment in the areas of culturally deprived and at-risk learners, adult
education,

learning
environments, the Canadian and Brazilian penal systems and more.
