Nobel Prize Teacher Summit
Arrange a hub for teachers
Become a part of the Nobel Prize Education Network! With our conference kit, you can host a hub for teachers to take part in a seminar with Nobel Prize laureates and other interesting speakers. You invite the teachers and we provide the material.
The themes for Nobel Prize Teacher Summits are relevant over time, so please feel free to use the material from previous years.
How to host a hub
This is an opportunity for you to invite local teachers to watch online versions of the summits together. We refer to these groups of teachers as hubs for the Nobel Prize Teacher Summit.
Each group of teachers can be small or large; you decide. The conference is relevant to teachers of all subjects, from all sorts of schools, teaching from preschool up to university level. The more heterogeneous the group is, the better.
The following material is available:
- A template for your invitation
- A printable workbook with the theme, speaker’s presentation and suggested questions to discuss
- A digital backdrop for the event (may only be used in this digital version)
- A youtube-link to material from the Nobel Prize Teacher Summit
Please note: It is not permitted to use or publish the material in any way other than in its original form and language. It is also not permitted to copy logos, images, or content from the presentations into self-produced materials.
