INTERNATIONAL Conference
Social and Emotional Education, Technologies and Project Based Learning - the Whole School Approach
10 - 11 November 2022, Plovdiv, Bulgaria
This is a conference for the whole school approach to teaching and learning. It aspires to highlight good practices of schools with vision, aimed at the holistic development of the learners, educational innovations, personal fulfilment and continuous professional development of the pedagogical staff.
We believe that the future of education belongs to schools
- where academic achievements are catered together with the creativity, emotional wellbeing and practical skills for life…
- where technologies support collaboration and learning…
- where challenges of the real world are brought to the safe space of the classroom venturing young minds to solve them…
- where learning is fun…
- which create sense of belonging…
We invited educators who have this vision for the school education to share their experience and professional expertise.
Join us in Plovdiv on 10-11 November 2022 for inspiration and networking.
MAIN TOPICS OF THE CONFERENCE
Social and Emotional Learning for adolescents
Skills for Innovation - project based learning for STEM and Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
Meaningful use of technology in education - cloud platforms, "1 to 1" model, eLearning and more
Social and Emotional Learning, creativity, fun and serious learning with LEGO® Education
Professional Development of the Pedagogical Specialists (with relevance to all of the above)
The whole school approach to the social and emotional learning of adolescents is in the focus of the transnational project “Social and Emotional Education – Building inclusive schools and ownership of values” (SEEVAL), which has been carried out since late 2019 by partners from Austria, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, Malta and Romania.
We will be happy to share with the participants in the conference the outcomes of the 3-year work and practical examples of seamless integration of the SEL to the everyday life and curriculum of the school. Some important results of the project work are published in the Resources section of this website.
The SEEVAL project is implemented with the support from the European Commission under Erasmus+ program, KA3 - Support for Policy Reform, action: Social inclusion through education, training and youth.
