Aims

• Information and experience exchange of regional players supported by many organisations and covering various areas of education
• Transfer of external know-how to the region
• New incentives for promotion of lifelong learning and a new therefore required regional teaching and learning culture in the Euroregion Neisse-Nisa-Nysa

Since 2002 PONTES-Agency has been organising at least two public education forums a year. 

The idea of the event is based on:

• making regional main topics a subject of discussion  
• involving experts and  best practise examples form the region, but also from other „learning“ regions
• testing of innovative event methods and plans as Open Space, video conference, World Cafe and others.
• the trinational orientation especially to strengthen the cross-border experience exchange of players

These focal points have already been discussed in several PONTES education forums:

• Education marketing and education databases
• Action-oriented teaching and learning methods  
• E-learning
• Neighbouring language
• Volunteerism
• Professional orientation for girls
