Six Principles of Events in EdCamp Format

All EdCamp events must comply with the following six principles.

  • Free of Charge

    EdCamp events are offered at no cost to attendees. This is a strict condition that guarantees equal opportunities for participation.

  • Independence

    EdCamps do not have “supervisors” from the state or business sectors. Everyone can express their thoughts freely, take part in discussions and defend their opinion.

  • Free Initiative

    Everyone can host EdСamp in their area: any local educational department, school, public organization, or informal group of teachers.

  • The Program Is Created by Participants on the First Day

    On the first morning, all participants jointly plan the schedule and session topics. Due to such spontaneity, the event plan meets the participants’ needs to the fullest.

  • Everyone Can Become a Speaker

    If you attend an EdСamp, you have the right to speak there. Everyone can share their experience in а unifying atmosphere.

  • The “Law of Two Feet”

    Attendees decide by themselves which sessions they want to attend and for how long they stay there. This helps to “separate out” irrelevant presentations or those presented in an unappealing form.

Growing along with EdCamp 2.0

The “Growing along with EdCamp 2.0” Guide is an updated edition that synthesizes experience in organizing educational (un)conferences and offers clear recommendations for their implementation — from the initial idea and preparation to delivering the event and sustaining its long-term impact afterward. The publication includes practical tools, examples of formats, and approaches to developing professional communities within local contexts. The guide is intended for educators across all levels of education, education administrators and managers, psychologists, as well as everyone involved in advancing education and supporting professional communities.
