The Stockholm Summit 2010 17-19 May
– Did we take education to a new level?
The second Stockholm Summit has come to an end. But we all bring home with us inspiration, new ideas and new contacts. Hopefully, we will be able to make use of all of this in a fruitful way, both the notions and ideas that were strengthened and the more thought provoking ideas
You find the presentations on the Programme page. Below you find a resumé of our days together and pictures of most of us.
The Hilton Stockholm Slussen Hotel
The conference venue, Hilton Stockholm Slussen Hotel, offers a nice view over the water and is situated right by the picturesque Old Town of Stockholm. Make sure to bring comfortable shoes – in Stockholm, most everything is within walking distance.
Share the knowledge
Do you have an issue to discuss or an experience to share?
During the speed network sessions you can discuss anything you want and share the knowledge with colleagues from all over the world.
Like Harry Potter’s first day at Hogwarts
Our children’s first day at school should be an enchanting, magical day, according to Bengt Kristensson Uggla, professor at Åbo University and lecturer at the Stockholm Summit 2008. - Schools should use music, poetry and stories to demonstrate the fantastic adventure of knowledge, learning and education, he says.
No micro-management of headmasters
Teachers forced to work together through rules and regulations will tend to cooperate less. Politicians and headmasters should refrain from micro-management. Instead, the idea is to create a working environment where working together has a purpose – where collaboration is profitable.
Andy Hargreaves was one of the most appreciated speakers at the Stockholm Summit 2008
