Who is this masterclass for?
CLIL teachers who have already some CLIL teaching experience (beginners or advanced).
Concept of this edition
At this second edition of the CLIL masterclass+ event, we will start each workshop with the exchange between you and the international colleagues (Norwegian, Belgian, Dutch, German). There will be time for networking, exchanging ideas, sharing good practices, picking each other's brains, answering each other's questions and, above all, there will be time to inspire and to get inspired. To top things off, we will provide interesting and inspirational ideas in every workshop, so you can unleash all the CLIL potential in your lessons.

Welcome session: The masterclass experience begins with a warm welcome and a brief orientation.
