Dr Dimitriadis led a very motivational speech focusing on the necessity to abandon the outdated educational system from the Industrial Revolution era and adopt a more flexible, creative and brain-friendly one. “Teachers need to understand neuroscience deeply and to evolve into curators, motivators and connectors. Technology has a great role to play… but humans are even greater! he commented. The presentation featured the latest insights from neuroscience to provide actionable recommendations to participants.
