We are a community of English-teaching enthusiasts from all types of schools gathered around ELEC. It all started during the pandemic. As there were no major training events for English teachers in our region, South Bohemia, we decided to create one ourselves - and "Konference pro lepší angličtinu" was born with the idea that teachers could inspire each other on challenges they might already have some experience with.
After the first conference, it became clear that an event once a year was not enough, and so a second idea was hatched - how about getting together a couple of times a year to discuss what we are interested in? So we launched Let's Talk Fridays.
Gradually more ideas were added at our Friday meetings and now we have mindfulness programmes specifically aimed at educators and professional development programmes designed for aspiring English teachers.
What's next? It's what we English teachers come up with ourselves. More and more ideas are being generated at our Let's Talk Fridays and so sooner or later we will bring something new again.
Join us at an event and let's inspire each other!
The idea was born.
The first "Konference pro lepší angličtinu" in České Budějovice followed by the first "Let's Talk Fridays" meeting later that year.
The second "Konference pro lepší angličtinu" in České Budějovice and the launch of mindfulness and professional development events.
Three conferences in three cities - Ústí nad Labem, Liberec and České Budějovice. Let's Talk Fridays, Work-life Balance and Professional Development events introduced in all three places along with Mladá Boleslav.
