The Education Chapter
Thank you to all who attended and supported The Education Chapter (TEC) of the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair in March, 2009. It was the first of its kind and organised by Taaleem in cooperation with KITAB, a joint venture between the Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage and the Frankfurt Book Fair. This interactive educational conference featured exceptional educators including Sir John Jones, Ian Gilbert, Dr Samia Al Farra and Roy Leighton.

 

'How to bring thinking out of the box and into 21st Century classrooms' was the overall theme of this year's TEC and the different workshops offered over the course of 2 days.

 

Useful download material, links from each of the speakers and an image gallery can be found below. If you wish to receive updates on up and coming conferences and events by Taaleem, please drop us an email at info@taaleem.ae or check our events calendar, which is updated regularly.
