Regional (un)conferences are the heart of the EdCamp community

Every year, thousands of educators across Ukraine come together at mini-EdCamps — events created by educators themselves. These are professional development spaces where colleagues share their experiences, try new things, and find even more inspiration for their profession.

This is where white crows find one another 💛

Events are held in four formats:

  1. Main events or “full box” – Organizers receive funding for the event and all the necessary materials

  2. Affiliated events – 
Organizers receive organizational and methodological support from the national office but secure the resources needed to hold the event themselves.

  3. Special events –
Thematically focused events held in partnership with various organizations.

  4. Hub events –
Large-scale events that bring together several educational institutions, communities, or even regions and receive an expanded “box” or “package” of resources for organizing the event.

How to edcamp

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 event day

    At the beginning of each EdCamp, the schedule and discussion topics are planned together with all participants. This spontaneity ensures that the event program reflects participants’ needs.

  • 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” applies

    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.
