T
he aim of the conference is to present and share both
theoretical and practical reflections on the concept of
togetherness both from a Danish and an international
point of view. How can togetherness be understood and
how does it work? Central to the conference are discus-
sions of the value of togetherness as a potential source
of motivation. By developing a sense of togetherness
can we realign pupil motivation?
