On March 26, 2026, the Workshop-Dissemination Event of the Rhizo-Eduscapes project was held in Volos, at the main building of the University of Thessaly (Argonafton & Filellinon, SAKE Conference Room). The event was organised as a full-day dissemination and training activity, combining theoretical presentations, the presentation of research data, and practical training in methodological tools.

 

The meeting began with an introductory presentation entitled “Introduction to the concept of the rhizome and rhizome research”, which set out the theoretical framework of the Rhizo-Eduscapes research project. This was followed by the presentation “Why unaccompanied minors matter: Institutional and state-of-the-art data”, focusing on the importance of studying unaccompanied minors through institutional data and current research.

During the second part of the event, emphasis was placed on the analysis of the “Preliminary results of fieldwork in shelters for unaccompanied minors”, highlighting key findings and fieldwork experiences. This was followed by a methods training session entitled “Methods training: Exploring eduscapes within shelters through the camera”, which presented the use of the camera as a tool for investigating educational and linguistic landscapes.

The event concluded with an “Open discussion: Conclusions & Reflections” providing participants with the opportunity to connect theoretical approaches with research practice. Overall, the workshop constituted an important dissemination activity of the project, strengthening collaboration within the research team and reinforcing the connection between theory, methodology, and fieldwork.
