JOENSUU WAY 2009
14 - 18 APRIL 2009
Joensuu, Finland

Joensuu Way 2009 is a global educational festival for schools. It is based on two simultaneous events: ENO conference (13-18 April) and SciFest 2008 Finland (15-18 April). It will be organised by the city and the university of Joensuu .

Earth And Sky is the motto for the festival. Environmental themes cover the climate change, ecological footpring and astronomy.

Schools work during the year in the ENO Programme and make projects linked to science, technology and environment. The results will be shared in the workshops of SciFest 2009 Finland. This is a unique possibility to meet peers around the world and share projects and best or worst practises.

We kindly invite schools to participate this festival. Participating schools are invited to arrange English workshops in SciFest event concerning science, technology or environment. Each delegation would consist of both teachers and students. Conference is only for schools in ENO network but SciFest event is a public event for any school interested.

There are no fees! The organisers arrange the conference material and meals during the SciFest (15-18 April) for participants. Accommodation will be arranged for schools from developing countries. Maximum 4 people per school is allowed to participate. Otherwise there are no restrictions for SciFest 2009 Finland but schools have to take care of expenses by themselves (like meals and accommodation)

NOTE: THIS IS FULL! NO MORE PARTICIPANTS!
