Atmosphere at the second Language Teachers Festival in 2022.

What teachers said after attending in 2021 & 22

„The best language teachers event I have ever attended.“
Lenka Málková
„All conferences that I've attended talk only about teaching and not about freelancing or work-life balance. This was the only one and that's what makes it special.“
Alena Vágnerová
„What an incredible time this was and what a privilege to have taken part in this educational and networking event organised by Nina. We shared ideas and experience, knowing we are all in this together, and I learned so much.“
Zuzana Delgado
„Thank you so much for the festival, it was a lot to take in, BUT a lot of amazing stuff! I really enjoyed it.“
Adéla Bartáková
„The festival exceeded my expectations. I loved the event so much! I'm pretty sure I'll be using the inspiration and the energy I gained during the event for months.“
Veronika Palovská
„I would definitely recommend the festival to other teachers. It was interactive, friendly, so much fun and all workshops were highly professional. All beyond my expectations.“
Markéta Kuchovská
„I enjoyed that there was a good balance between a professional and a warm/friendly atmosphere. It wasn't all business, plenty of fun too!“
Zayda Wilson
„One weekend wasn't enough. I am looking forward to coming again, meeting all the inspiring people and enjoying the fantastic atmosphere full of cooperation and support.“

Frequently asked questions

The festival is for freelance teachers of all languages who are eager to gain new knowledge and inspiration, participate in stimulating discussions and finally meet other colleagues in person. If you recognize yourself in this, we’d love to see you among us!

We want to celebrate the work we all love, educate ourselves, and have fun at the same time.

Registration for the festival starts on Saturday at 9:30am., the official programme starts at 10am. The workshop part will end around 4pm on Saturday. From 7pm you can join an evening one-hour city tour of the centre of Brno, ending with networking in the bar (from 8pm). On Sunday we start at 9:30am and finish around 3pm.

The exact programme will be sent to registered participants before the festival.

The communication language of the festival is English, we have international speakers and participants.

The ticket price does not include the cost of transport, accommodation and lunches.

For ideal accommodation we recommend rooms in the same building – here: https://www.internesto.com/. Mention that you are going to the festival. Single rooms and shared rooms are available. We have the whole place pre-reserved until the end of March. So best to book before that. You do not pay up front, only when leaving.

This is a smaller event on purpose. I believe in quality over quantity and in a more intimate settiing. 

There will be a maximum of 40 participants so that each of you get the most out of it and have enough space to work with the trainers in smaller groups during the workshops.

We believe the workshops will be lifechanging so keeping it small is the best way to go so you get a lot of value for your money.

The workshops are the backbone of the festival and are designed in such a way that you can attend 5 out of 6 of them, as each will be repeated twice during the festival. You will simply not go to the one that you are interested in the least.

Each registered participant will receive the festival program before the festival starts and will need to fill out a registration form to sign up for the workshop they want to attend.

Workshop capacity is limited, so it is a good idea to sign up as soon as you receive the email. 

Tickets are valid for both days. Tickets for one day only are not available. 

Invoices are automatic. Once you order and pay for the ticket you will be emailed an official invoice you can use for your accounting.

Many members of our local teachers’ club will be attending so you can ask them to stay with them – From mid March there will be a private FB group dedicated to the festival where you can make friends and ask for help with accommodation.
