The GEECT conference was an opportunity for pedagogues who participate in the teaching of the non-fiction program to summarize their approach towards fundamental value attitudes. Stimulating discussions as result of the panels and presentations gave us the opportunity to see things in the bigger picture, which is the historical perspective, in the context of society and show us deeper meaning of the job we are part of.
