In Nomine is delighted to announce that the festival of knowledge, skills, and experiences—Haridustreff 2025—will take place on August 14, 2025. The annual event for education professionals, held for the fourth time at Paide Vallimägi, will center around the theme: “Learning. Experiencing. Achieving Results.” The event offers a comprehensive perspective on the education journey, encompassing preschool, general education, and vocational training. The tradition of awarding scholarships will also continue.
The keynote speaker and one of the workshop facilitators for the fourth Haridustreff is Gunter Pauli, a Belgium-born educational innovator and lecturer. Pauli has developed a teaching method that integrates storytelling, scientific knowledge, and experiential learning. As a global visionary, entrepreneur, and creator of the Blue Economy model, Pauli has authored over 20 books and actively collaborates with universities worldwide as a lecturer.
Kristi Jõeorg, one of the event organizers, explains that every year, efforts are made to make the program more engaging, and this year’s keynote speaker is globally renowned. “We’ve also improved the content based on feedback from teachers over the past three years. In 2025, we plan to organize separate workshops and discussions alongside the main stage program. Different topics will be delivered through the main stage as well as hands-on workshops in tents. This helps direct information more precisely to the audience and also allows us to adapt to unpredictable weather. Although, last year, even rain couldn’t deter the teachers because education is important in all conditions,” says Kristi Jõeorg.
The scholarship tradition will continue, recognizing a Bold School and an Innovative Teacher. A bold school or preschool is an institution that makes and implements its own decisions. An innovative teacher is one who contributes to the development of their subject area and has adopted new teaching methods in the past three years.
The main sponsor of Haridustreff 2025 is LHV Bank, and the event is organized by Meaningful Talks.
At the 2024 Haridustreff in Paide Vallimägi, the Bold School Scholarship was awarded to Pärnu Ühisgümnaasium, as determined by the jury. The Innovative Teacher Scholarship went to Veronika Grigorjeva, a mathematics teacher from Tallinna Tõnismäe Riigigümnaasium. A total of 10 teachers and 18 schools applied for the scholarships, which were provided by the event’s main sponsor, LHV Bank. The third annual Haridustreff drew nearly 800 participants.
