Educathon

The teff Educathon is a format that encourages people to independently find their own solutions to real problems using agile methods

Based on the basic principles of Design Thinking, it invites people to work together across phases, institutions, disciplines or even age and status: The flexible teaching-learning format allows teachers to work with pupils, students with teachers, pupils with others interested in education, etc. to work together - and across Europe's borders!

All teff Educathons focus on challenges relating to the topic of “Education of (and for) the future”. Based on a theme that unites all participants, specific questions are then worked out that are addressed during the Educathon. Each team here chooses one specific question they work on. The aim is to sketch out an answer to the question (or even: a solution to a problem). 

It is also allowed (and even: encouraged!) to dream a little here; the creativity of the participants should not be restricted. Think “and” instead of “but”!

At the end of the Educathon, each team presents their ideas in a short pitch. May the best pitch win!
