School Field Seminar
One of the Center’s activities is also the organization of meetings that bring together people who deal with issues in the school field, and at which they open discussions on various professional issues and issues of school policies.
School field seminars are thematic meetings of invited Slovenian researchers. The meetings began in the spring of 2001. At the Center we want these meetings to help build a culture of professional dialogue and continuously open up current problems of the profession and school policy.
