Presentation

My name is Vildana Bašić and I am a PhD student at the graduate school RelMaS. In my research, I am interested in transdisciplinary collaborations. I use participatory action research and transformative learning to explore students', teachers' and science professions' interests and motivation in development of futures thinking in education.

As a teacher and head teacher, I have extensive experience in working with "Collaboration between school and work life" as well as Education for Sustainable Development. My experience and teaching style have contributed to diverse collaborations where I have had the opportunity to develop in school development, leadership and learning.
