This conference goes beyond the ordinary; it's the first CLIL conference in Ukraine. Our aim is straightforward: to introduce educators to the amazing world of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), a powerful approach that can offer a fresh perspective on teaching and learning.
We'd like to welcome those who are curious, open to fresh ideas, and eager to contribute to the growth of CLIL in Ukrainian classrooms.
However, please note that we have limited spots available – only 100 participants can join us. We encourage you to secure your place early as registration is based on a first-come, first-served basis.
We're looking forward to reuniting with old friends and making new ones! We do miss all of you!
Discover What Sets Us Apart!
Honest Conversations
Come learn from experienced and novice CLIL practitioners. We will blend theory, practice, and insights together. It will be a frank and honest talk with all the highs and lows, as well as fails and achievements.
Engage & Influence
We stand for an inclusive environment that values the input of each participant. Expect interactivity, meaningful discussions, and the exchange of valuable feedback. Your voice truly matters.
Social Emphasis
It has a social component, as any CLIL-oriented 'lesson' should. We will not avoid what is needed in our society, what should not be forgotten, and what we as teachers have the power to bring more attention to.
Meet, Greet, and Teach Together
Well, it's time to break free from the clutches of virtuality and finally meet face-to-face. Get ready to shake hands, exchange warm hugs, and share a hearty laugh or two. And the good thing is that in this friendly atmosphere, you might meet a colleague who shares your interests and can become your long-term teaching buddy. Remember, connections have the power to transform perspectives, and this conference is your golden ticket to a world of new friendships and exciting collaborations.
