This presentation interrogates the capacity of Home Economics to cultivate sustainable, resilient, and socially responsible communities through a futures\u2011oriented, critical, and human\u2011centred pedagogical lens. Central to this argument is the Home Economics Literacy Model (HELM), which provides a theoretically robust framework for building sustainability literacy, adaptive resilience, and the capacity for advocacy\u2014key competencies for shaping equitable and future\u2011focused ways of living. Home Economics emerges as a powerful catalyst for enabling people to understand complexity, act purposefully, and contribute to more sustainable and resilient futures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10.15\u2013 11.45\u202fResearch sessions (concurrent, workshops, symposia, poster viewing)\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>11.45\u202f\u2013 13.00\u202fLunch\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>13.00 \u2013 15.00\u202fResearch sessions (concurrent, workshops, symposia, poster viewing)\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>15.00 \u2013 15.30 Coffee break\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>15.30 \u2013 16.30\u202fResearch sessions (concurrent, workshops, symposia, poster viewing)\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>17.00 \u2013 18.00\u202fYoung Professional networking\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wednesday\u202f7.10.2026\u202f\u202f<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8.00 \u2013\u202f9.30\u202fSchool visits,&nbsp;Rantakyl\u00e4&nbsp;University training school&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>9.30\u202f\u2013\u202f16.30\u202fExcursion\u202fto\u202fNiirala\u202fBorder station\u202fand\u202fHermanni Winery in\u202fIlomantsi\u202f(Lunch in\u202fIlomantsi)\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IFHE European Annual Meeting &amp; Thematic Conference 2026 in Finland\u202f, Joensuu&nbsp; THEME: Rethink and Re-organise \u2013 Home Economics bringing preparedness and resilience to everyday life&nbsp; We are excited to announce the Save the Date information for the Conference 2026, to be held in Joensuu, Finland, on October 5-6, 2026.
