Welcome to the 8th
 
Profil Klett ELT Meeting!

We are going live in
three, two, one

Spring is at our doorstep, bringing a refreshing breeze of new ideas. Join us in celebrating the season’s bloom at our upcoming ELT Meet on creativity in the classroom!

Delve into the world of artistic expression in the ELT classroom, with the help of experienced educators, drama pedagogues, creativity coaches, and musicians. Through our hands-on workshops, we will explore how various creative techniques can enhance your students’ language skills and make the learning (and teaching) process more enjoyable and engaging. But that’s not all! We’d like you to take the stage, too. Apply for our TeachMeet session and share your favourite creative projects and activities that you believe can engage even the least interested students.

Join us at our 8th Annual ELT Meet and witness the boundless possibilities that unfold when creativity takes its own course. Don’t forget to save your spot: the number of participants is limited!
