Dear Friends,
RIDEF lives thanks to people. Thanks to conversations, workshops, music, meetings and sharing experiences. That is why we observe with great joy your willingness to actively co-create the program of this year’s meeting.
We already have submitted long and short workshops, and new ideas, new topics and inspiring proposals are emerging. Thank you very much for that. We still need more long workshops, short workshops and workshops for children. We encourage everyone who is still hesitating to share their practice, experience and passion.
We are not looking for perfection. We are looking for authentic meetings and the exchange of experiences.
All submissions are being regularly published on the RIDEF website.
We have also received with great pleasure your interest in participating in the Conference Forum, which will take place on 3 August 2026. It will be an important day of shared reflection on education, the world and the future of our movement.
Those interested in a short, five-minute presentation are asked to send to ridef@freinet.pl:
- the topic or a short description of the presentation
- a short CV
We want to hear your voices, experiences and questions.
We also remind you:
- bring your national flags for the opening ceremony
- musical instruments are welcome
- by 30 June, please send to ridef@freinet.pl memories and photos of Animators who have passed away in recent years
We believe that together we will create a RIDEF full of conversations, music, creativity and mutual inspiration.
