Here’s a chance to visit Greece before it disappears under a mountain of debt – hurry, there’s not much time!
What: Never waste a crisis! Inclusive excellence, Innovative Technologies and Transformed Schools as Autonomous Learning Organizations (all the right buzz words here).
Where: Pallini, Athens, at the headquarters of Ellinogermaniki Agogi, the host of the 2011 Open Classroom Conference
When: 27-29 October 2011
Conference Scope
Crisis, change and innovation
Recent waves of economic crisis and uncertainty have re-aligned a range of European and global issues. This sense of crisis and challenge however may also serve to energize system transformations, identify alternatives, suggest new directions and act as a driving motivating force when old modes are broken.

How much: 350 euros (unless you’re Greek – I’m not making it up).

Seriously, this looks like an interesting conference, and the Greeks need as much support at the moment as they can get.
