is a change agent

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT EDCAMP
6 TENETS OF EDCAMP
Free of charge
EdCamp is offered at no cost
to attendees. It is a strict condition ensuring equal chances
of all educators.
The program is created by participants on the first day
On the first day morning
all participants plan the timetable
and session topics. Due to
the spontaneity, the plan of events meets the needs of the participants
as much as possible.
Independence
EdCamps do not have
any supervisors from state authorities or vendors. Everyone is free
to express their thoughts, take part in
a discussion and defend their opinion.
Everyone can become
a speaker
If you attend EdСamp, you are empowered to drive the conversation. Everyone can share their experience
in the uniting atmosphere.
Free initiative
Everyone can host EdСamp
in his/her area: any local
educational department,
school, public organization
or informal group of teachers.
Reliant
on the "law of two feet"
Attendees find the sessions
meeting their needs on their own.
The ”law” ensures an effective way
to “drop out” the presentations
that are not topical for educators
or presented in an unattractive way.
