Collaborative relations and the internationalization of education in the 20th century

The international dissemination of knowledge and ideas of pedagogy and education, e.g. through publications, exhibitions and organizations, has played an important role in the development of education systems. During the 20th century, such meeting points, relationships and exchanges seemed to have changed character as international organizations such as UNESCO and the OECD were established and gained dominance. In this presentation, global developments and trends and their significance for Denmark are analysed through examples of pedagogical experimental and development work in primary and lower secondary school.
