Empowering Teachers: A 1-Day Event for Inclusive School Community on Democratic Education

Empowering Teachers: A 1-Day Event for Inclusive School Community

In the face of changing times in education, schools are grappling with increasing rates of student absenteeism, a rising demand for special needs education, and the necessity to embrace diversity within their walls. The well-being of teachers is also under threat due to overwhelming workloads and shortages in staffing. Amidst these challenges, educators are determined to believe in the potential of school education and seek ways to break free from the status quo.

Event Overview

This 1-Day event, organized by the Entaku Forum, aims to bring together educators and various stakeholders to share ideas and specific knowledge to foster a setting where both children and adults can thrive. The forum is dedicated to collaboratively creating schools that are democratic and inclusive, establishing a community where we can feel the energy and passion of our shared mission.
