The Habla International Forum
April 5 and 6, 2013
Merida, Mexico.



Habla invites proposals for presenting IDEA talks or workshops at the 2013 Habla Forum. The Habla Forum is a collaborative space where educators investigate a concept throughout the two days. The workshops and talks serve as the “texts” for further conversation. All talks and workshops should directly address the central concept of the Forum and help move our collective thinking forward around the concept.

Modeled after TED talks, IDEA talks are a maximum of 15 minutes and should include multiple mediums (videos, photographs etc.) For an example of past IDEA talks please click here.

Workshops last two hours and are completely interactive in nature.
