Education in Action is an annual conference for teachers designed to share the latest trends in education, such as current research results, new technologies used in education, innovative educational methods, and numerous ideas on how to support the development of children and youth. The conference has been organized by the EXPERYMENT Science Centre for eight years now creating a platform for teachers to exchange their experience and knowledge of their ways of working with students, to share new educational methods and discuss solutions to problems of their every day work. It is additionally a great opportunity to establish new relations and find partners for cooperation among other teachers, educational experts and the Science Centre itself. The previous editions addressed various topics related to creativity, communication, relationships and innovation in education.
