We have been prototyping Edu on Tour in multiple regions: Austria, Northern Europe and Brazil (2013, 2014). We’ve also initiated and run more than 40 Education Hackathons all around the world and we have been setting up SOLEspace for working and living together.

This year we are ready to share our learning and network with educational activists who are passionate about transformation of the education system. Let’s bring all our potential together and let’s go global!

Our challenge: We build up a global open business organization for raising consciousness in our society.

Why Edu on tour? (http://www.eduontour.org)

In our opinion our current educational system doesn’t support a healthy environment neither for children nor teachers. Instead of creating an environment of curiosity, creativity, playfulness and willingness to learn it enables the opposite.

We promote environments which help kids to fully develop their potential, to follow their passion and live up to a natural human behavior.
