Hosting a Flat Classroom® Conference or Workshop

Flat Classroom® Conference and Live Events Inc. is a non-profit US-based 501(3)(c) organization that has been formed to be the umbrella group for Flat Classroom® Conferences and Flat Classroom® Workshops. Our aim is to run global or regional conferences once or twice a year, and smaller workshops at other times.

The Flat Classroom® Conference is an event that attracts education leaders, teachers and students globally.  It is held at different locations around the world.

• Flat Classroom® Conference January 2009 was hosted by Qatar Academy, Doha, Qatar
• Flat Classroom® Conference February 2011 was hosted by Beijing (BISS) International School, Beijing, China
• Current plans include Flat Classroom® Conference Europe: Germany, December 2012 and Flat Classroom® Conference Asia: Japan, March 2013.
• Flat Classroom® Conference 2013/14 (and beyond) – it could be YOU! _
  

Applications are invited to host a Flat Classroom® Conference at anytime. There is no deadline, please submit an expression of interest.

• We are looking for progressive schools that are serious about challenge-based learning, global issues, global collaboration and essential pedagogical strategies to support global project design, as well as support global competency and international mindedness objectives.

• We are looking for schools that have the facility to host about 250 participants (a mixture of students and educators), with a venue large enough to hold everyone for plenary sessions, as well as adequate breakout rooms.

• We are looking for schools that have the IT infrastructure to support wireless connectivity and reliable Internet access for all participants. This event includes a large virtual component and our aim is to be connected to the world at all times.

• We are looking for schools that want to invest in professional development for a significant number of their teachers and understand the cost-effective benefits of bringing this live event into the community.

• We are looking for schools that support student-based action projects (e.g. GIN) and want to provide a rich opportunity for their school and region.

• Most importantly we are looking for schools that understand the importance and impact of combining students and educators, in fact ALL learners in a stranded, but interactive conference format where multi-modal learning opportunities are possible and actions are supported.

Does that sound like your school?? Then we would love to talk further!
