Thematic Meetings – Physical (or Online)

The GEECT board welcomes the submissions of proposals for our next thematic meetings
– either in physical or online format –  on any topic relevant for the membership schools
and to the advancement of the state of the art in our field.
Submissions should be 500 words max. and include the following items:

Topic: Target audience
Venue: Description and proposed program

Remember, thematic meetings are short one (or two) day events dedicated to specific topics relevant for the membership that should include original opportunities for debate, reflection and knowledge sharing. GEECT will contribute with 1.000 € (depending on the proposal, up to 3.000 € ) to support any organisational costs.
Travelling and accommodation expenses (if applicable) are not supported by the organisation.
Besides GEECT support, funded schools can also apply for CILECT funding for the same event.

Considering the current context and the recent experience of our first online seminar, the board believes these meetings are an excellent opportunity for all members to interact and discuss strategies to cope with the challenges and opportunities the current crisis entails. Please send us your proposals!
Submit your Application in time and send it to:

 Proposals for CONFERENCE.

GEECT is looking for applications for its next rounds of events. We are interested in supporting events for 2024/2025.

We urge members to apply and propose relevant and engaging events that can help in improving our schools, better train our teachers and staff, and further enhance the overall quality of our work. We are open to proposals for events in different formats, such as conferences, train the trainers’ activities or workshops. Besides GEECT support, funded schools can also apply for CILECT funding for the same event.

Deadline: Spring 2024 for proposals for 2024/2025 conference.

A GEECT event should primarily invite people/delegates from our GEECT MEMBER SCHOOLS as participants.

That can vary from 30 to 60 people or more.

We give up to 15.000 € to the hosting school.

(Sometimes 2 or 3 GEECT Schools have joined forces; so that is also possible, but one school will receive the money on its account).

The hosting school can ask participants to pay a Registration Fee (Between 250 and 600 Euro, but on average around 400 Euro). GEECT Schools are used to this but also have some expectations:

The Registration Fee usually will cover: 

ACCOMODATION (Hotel) + A NUMBER OF MEALS (participants are informed about what they can expect) + Transportation (Airport-Hotel for instance).

Participants from GEECT pay their own travelling to the City of the Conference.

CILECT offers a limited number of FEE WAIVERS to some guests from other regions (first come first serve; for more info refer to the Executive Director). 

We have a format that helps schools preparing a proposal. See Template

GEECT will pay 50% of the money before, and the remaining 50% after the event (usually when the feedback enquiry is finished, and/or the materials (AUDIO/VIDEO registration of the event) are distributed and/or uploaded (CILECT website for example).
