As part of Work Package 7
(WP7) of the HEVEN project, a research paper developed from the project’s
work has been accepted for presentation at the EAPRIL
2026 Conference, to
be held in Cork, Ireland, from 24–26 November 2026.
The paper, titled “The
Craft of Teaching the Teachers: A Qualitative Inquiry into Pedagogical
Meaning-Making Among TVET Educators in Nepal,” reflects the HEVEN
project’s focus on strengthening the pedagogical capacity and professional
development of TVET educators in Nepal.
The paper will be jointly
presented at the conference by Dr. Indra Raj Upadhyaya, Project Manager
from Tribhuvan University (TU), and Dr. Jeevan Khanal, Coordinator from Nepal
Open University (NOU). Their participation will provide an opportunity to share
insights from the HEVEN project with an international academic and professional
community and to engage with researchers and practitioners working in teacher
education, vocational education, and professional learning.
The presentation also
contributes to the dissemination and international visibility of the HEVEN
project, while creating opportunities for knowledge exchange and further
collaboration in the field of TVET teacher education.
