Annual Science Teachers Conference (VeLeWe congres)

On February 3rd, 2024, Flemish biology, chemistry, geography, and physics teachers gathered at the annual Science Teachers Conference (VeLeWe congres) held in Antwerp, Belgium. The conference program featured workshops designed to inspire teachers. This year, we presented our climate change tutorials to 35 teachers across two engaging workshops. Our discussions extended beyond the tutorial content, encompassing strategies for effective implementation. The participants’ enthusiasm encourages us to take the next steps: optimize the tutorials, translating them, and organizing additional professional development opportunities!
