ALFA & EXPRESS PUBLISHING ELT DAY — “More Than a Decade, More Than a Publisher”

Pridružite nam se u subotu 29. ožujka 2025. u hotelu Sheraton u proslavi 10. godišnjice partnerstva, suradnje i zajedničkog rasta!

Program konferencije pomno je osmišljen i odgovara trenutku u kojem se nalazite vi i vaši učenici. Donosi korisne, dinamične i inspirativne sesije koje imaju zajednički nazivnik ‒ motivacija učitelja i (posljedično) učenika. Dovodimo predavače iz prakse, ljude koji zaista razumiju i žive poučavanje. Osim za osnovne i srednje škole pripremili smo izlaganja i za najranije učenje u dječjim vrtićima i školama stranih jezika.


Svoju ulaznicu po cijeni od 20 € možete kupiti ovdje.
