The three cities championing this new era of education are Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Kaohsiung.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">It is the 100th year anniversary of famous educationist Dr. John Dewey\u2019s (1859- 1952) book <i>Democracy and education: An introduction to the philosophy of education <\/i>since its publication in the year 1916. In order to commemorate and study Dr. Dewey\u2019s educational ideas, we hosted the inaugural Tri-City Education Forum entitled \u201cInternational Symposium on the Centenary of Democracy &amp; Education\u201d on 23 October 2015.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Democracy and education contend that education should operate by including social relations of democracy and the individual\u2019s growth and development. The importance of democracy attached to the individual\u2019s life serves as a shield of protection for the individual and preserves social equity. The debate is introduced from the well-versed perspectives of social-interactionist theory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">We are very honoured to have invited Deweyan scholars from all over the world to give keynote speeches on Dewey\u2019s concepts of democracy and education: Professor Jim Garrison (Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University), Dr. Stefan Neubert (University of Cologne), Professor Chen Ya-Jun (Dewey Centre of Fudan University), Professor Shan Zhong-Hui (East China Normal University), and Professor Rex Li (G.T. College).<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-6721 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-large'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/giftedcouncil.edu.hk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/9-1M1A0330-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-6728\" srcset=\"https:\/\/giftedcouncil.edu.hk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/9-1M1A0330-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/giftedcouncil.edu.hk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/9-1M1A0330-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/giftedcouncil.edu.hk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/9-1M1A0330-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/giftedcouncil.edu.hk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/9-1M1A0330.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-6728'>\n\t\t\t\tDr. Stefan Neubert (University of Cologne)\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/giftedcouncil.edu.hk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/9-1M1A0318-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/giftedcouncil.edu.hk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/9-1M1A0318-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/giftedcouncil.edu.hk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/9-1M1A0318-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/giftedcouncil.edu.hk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/9-1M1A0318-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/giftedcouncil.edu.hk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/9-1M1A0318.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/giftedcouncil.edu.hk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/9-1M1A0284-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/giftedcouncil.edu.hk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/9-1M1A0284-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/giftedcouncil.edu.hk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/9-1M1A0284-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/giftedcouncil.edu.hk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/9-1M1A0284-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/giftedcouncil.edu.hk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/9-1M1A0284.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/giftedcouncil.edu.hk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/9-1M1A0276-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-6725\" srcset=\"https:\/\/giftedcouncil.edu.hk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/9-1M1A0276-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/giftedcouncil.edu.hk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/9-1M1A0276-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/giftedcouncil.edu.hk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/9-1M1A0276-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/giftedcouncil.edu.hk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/9-1M1A0276.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-6725'>\n\t\t\t\tProf. Jim Garrison (Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University)\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/giftedcouncil.edu.hk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/9-1M1A0171-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-6724\" srcset=\"https:\/\/giftedcouncil.edu.hk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/9-1M1A0171-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/giftedcouncil.edu.hk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/9-1M1A0171-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/giftedcouncil.edu.hk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/9-1M1A0171-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/giftedcouncil.edu.hk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/9-1M1A0171.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-6724'>\n\t\t\t\tProf. Rex Li (Founder and Curriculum Director, G.T.
