The conference this year was held in in Gurgaon NCR of Delhi, India from 12 – 16 November 2010. It was organised by St. Mark’s Senior Secondary Public School, Meera Bagh in collaboration with the Asia-Europe Foundation of course and with the support of the Ministry of Human Resource Development.

As always the occasion brought teachers and teacher educators together from many countries and over 30 projects were proposed.

We were given a tour of St Mark's School and were astounded by incredible hospitality and warmth of the teachers and pupils who welcomed us to the school, to the conference and to India, that most incredible country!

The Irish delegation were paying close attention to the way the conference was run because we plan to bring it to Ireland in the year! More about that in future posts.
