At Järvenpää High school, on November 15-16, it will be possible to see a unique coverage of the world's top experts talking about school construction, preparing for a school building project, global learning environment innovations and evaluating the functionality of school buildings.
If your municipality is going, coming, or planning to build a new school, this conference is definitely not to be missed. The conference will give you more skills to plan and evaluate your school building project and also your project's life cycle on a scale of over 50 years.
In the Implementing the “Constructing Education” Framework seminar, you will learn about the successes and failures of European school construction projects, so that you can start your own with a more secure mind. The seminar will discuss the pedagogical possibilities of learning environments in school buildings. Besides the cities of Järvenpää and Espoo, Europe Development Bank (CEB) and European Investment Bank (EIB) are responsible for organizing the seminar.
