Celebration: 30 Years of LdL

For those of you who are interested in LdL (= Lernen durch Lehren = Learning by Teaching). There will a 30-Year Anniversary Celebration on 8 December 2012 at the Europäisches Haus Pappenheim. It will include a presentation of the latest publication on LdL (by Bea Klüsener and myself), but the organizing team is also open for additional suggestions (e.g. a workshop).

Vision Summit 2011

I was invited to present LdL at the Vision Summit 2011 – an interesting conference for social entrepreneurship. This year’s summit was dedicated to innovations in the educational sector. During coffee breaks people were very much interested in BGE. We’re on the right entrepreneurial track!
