Schools In Action

Showcase your school at GESS Dubai through a simple presentation that best represents the unique personality of your school and the learning taking place in the classroom.

What's it all about?

It really is simple, showcasing something that you're already doing within your school this could be:

Drama Group
Choir
Talk about Special Educational Needs
Showcasing a Sustainability Project
How you use Technology in the Classroom
Sports Team - How Students Learn & Integrate in Different Ways
Student Ownership

It's up to you - each talk lasts for 20 minutes and should illustrate best practice in a practical and engaging way.

Why Take Part?

In our experience schools and students like to showcase their work and teachers enjoy learning from teachers. Students in particular benefit and like the opportunity to be presenters even to a smaller audience they like the focus and attention. It's also a great way to showcase the great work being done in your school to a wider audience of your peers locally and also internationally.

What do I need to know?

The conference rooms are on the exhibition floor, which ensure maximum footfall and a buzz around the area, they are not sound-proofed, but we do have excellent technicians on hand to balance the sound so the audience will here you perfectly
We supply projector, screen, prodium and clicker with conncectors and a sound feed - an experienced technician will be in the room with you and your students
Presentations can be formal and informal
If you wish to use a MacBook or iPad you will need to bring your own connectors, and if you are using an iPad we will need organise Wifi and Apple TV for you
It's not like a school or classroom set up, as with every live environment things happen that are beyond our control, but we find that students tend to go with the flow and adapt well
The sessions are not aimed at students or the general public but at educators, schools leaders and sometimes ministries of education - so all levels of educational professionals

Sounds great what should I do next?
