The basic idea of Campus Seminars is really simple: speeches plus streaming equals as a gift to teachers.

About the innovation

What are Campus Seminars?

The world outside of school is changing faster than ever. This makes it difficult for teachers to understand what the world will look like when their students graduate. The less educators understand these changes, the more difficult it is to be excited and optimistic about the future. 

The mission of Campus Seminars is to bring together the best experts in a wide range of fields, such as climate change, global health and artificial intelligence, to explain to teachers what changes are happening in these areas. Through equipping educators with this knowledge, Campus Seminars aim to inspire teachers to get excited about current global changes. 

Educators can attend seminars in person or stream the talks online. This makes the seminars accessible to an even wider audience. Every school and every teacher in the country where each seminar takes place can watch the talks live and they remain online for future use. Collaboration between teachers from many different schools is also fostered through the seminars.

Teachers can take the knowledge gained at Campus Seminars back to their schools and ensure that students' learning experiences are relevant to current global trends. Change must become a key theme in schools so that teachers and students can embrace it with excitement and see it as an empowering opportunity.

Impact & scalability

Impact & Scalability

Innovativeness

Campus Seminars equip teachers with in-depth knowledge of big global changes outside the classroom, helping to ensure that education keeps pace with our rapidly changing world.

Impact

To date, Campus Seminars have run talks for educators on a range of exciting subjects, such as the future of healthcare, the world of programming and the work towards curing cancer.

Scalability

Campus Seminars can be run anywhere around the world. Events can be tailored to any number of different contexts to make them as useful as possible to the educators attending.

Implementation steps

Get in touch
Anyone interested in organising a seminar in their area is very welcome to get in touch with Campus Seminars.

Scroll down on this page for contact details and get in touch with Campus Seminars directly to discuss organising an event. 

Obtain sponsorship
Campus Seminars are always free of charge for the teachers attending, as the costs are paid by sponsors.

To cover the costs of a seminar, while ensuring that the talks remain free for teachers to attend, each event will need one or more sponsors. Campus Seminars can offer advice on how to get sponsors on board to fund an event. Organising one Campus Seminar costs between €40,000 and €60,000, depending on local costs. 

Book great speakers
Choose a topic and find the best people to talk about it!

The Campus Seminars team will work with the organisers of each event to book a panel of experts from within the chosen field. 

Invite educators
Teachers from across the whole country where the event is being held can attend in person (free of charge) or stream the talks online.

Teachers do not have to pay for their tickets, but will need to register through the Campus Seminars website in order to attend, either in person or online. Educators who are attending in person will receive an e-ticket that must be printed and shown at the event. The talks will be streamed live and will remain on the Campus Seminars website for future viewing. 

Discuss, collaborate and share
The most important part is for all attendees to engage with the discussions and get excited about change.

Campus Seminars provide great networking opportunities for educators. At the seminars, teachers are encouraged to work together to understand the topics being discussed. Afterwards, the knowledge gained can be brought back to their classrooms.
