International Festival that assembles the Enterprising Education practitioners in Estonia. There will be a Fair and Seminars during the two days where practical solutions can be found for teachers, students and families. An education Fair flyer (translation) you can find here.
Partner
Narva College of Tartu University.
The target group of the Seminar are teachers. We wish to talk through different presentations about what Enterprising Education is, why we should develop it in children already in an early age and how to implement it in every lesson. Also different countries talk about their Enterprising Education experiences and bring examples of activities – Sweden, Latvia, Finland and Scotland.
The target group of the Fair is teachers, students and it can also be visited with a whole family. We wish to offer practical outputs which means that we invite to the Fair the enterprises/ organisations that have novelty and creative solutions or topics to offer for the learning process in order to give additional value to attending school.
