Press coverage

“The conference was established with the clear goal of creating a prestigious international platform for sharing examples of best practices, innovative teaching approaches, and models of cooperation between schools and businesses. The stories shared at the conference demonstrated that modern vocational education is not only possible but, above all, necessary.”

“W trakcie październikowej konferencji VETBridge 2025 w Ostrawie, której organizatorem była Moravskoslezská technologická akademie (MTA) – Morawsko-Śląska Akademia Technologiczna, zaprezentowano wizję modelu Next-Generation Makerspace jako przestrzeni współpracy szkół, przedsiębiorstw i centrów innowacji. Koncepcja ta zainspirowała mnie do rozwinięcia tej idei, wzbogacając ją o elementy metody Challenge Based Learning (CBL) oraz refleksyjnego uczenia się w dzisiejszej szkole.”
