Here, exhibitors can find peers and potential business partners, while trade visitors can network and know more about the future of education. And with the latest teaching materials and techniques to be discovered, along with many presentations & discussions dedicated to the topics of education, teaching and learning, even teachers, educators and students will find Frankfurt Book Fair a worthwhile place to visit every year.
Classroom of the Future – Fantastic Islands of Learning
Expos and creative, multimedia activities, both in and beyond the Classroom of the Future, take place every year in Hall 4.2. Interesting learning expeditions and innovative new technologies were showcased at the singularly exciting area – Classroom of the Future 2015 – which presented ambitious content and a versatile programme that made visitors and exhibitors rethink even the book itself. In cooperation with renowned partners, the team at Frankfurt Book Fair 2015 created “Fantastic Islands of Learning”, offering a range of learning inspirations to the schools and educators’ audiences.
