Community Meetup "Teaching Innovation in the 21 century: learning from each other"
Outline of the event
In September 2021 the European Training Foundation has launched its Community of Innovative Educators, which is now counting with more than 900 educators and practitioners from the ETF partner countries in Central Asia, the EU Eastern Partnership, the Western Balkans and Turkey and the South-East Mediterranean.
The meetup aims to gather the community members in order to take stock of the lessons learnt in the first months of work of the community, to present the emerging teaching and learning innovation trends from the different regions involved, and to present the planned activities of the community in 2022.
The event is free of charge and open to anyone interested in teaching and learning innovation.
Interpretation will be available in English, Russian, Arabic, Serbian.
