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.

presente! is a creative think & do tank for building up communities of practice in education and for social innovation worldwid. We foster local collaboration with like-minded individuals and education initiatives, create awareness within the general public and share our learnings globally. The NGO of our collective is located in Austria.
