We live in a rapidly changing world. These changes require new ways of meeting challenges, including the way we teach. In a globalized world, everything is becoming more complex and requires innovative learning methods to teach complicated topics effectively. Creative approaches such as gamification are essential to engage learners, encourage critical thinking, and provide a deeper understanding of interconnected global issues.

In this online gathering you will learn about easily accessible methods and tools to tackle complex topics like the Sustainable Development Goals. In an engaging digital conference environment, you'll explore valuable resources and have the opportunity to share your experiences and ideas with experts in both formal and non-formal education.
