It’s the economy, stupid! A well-known quote from James Carville in 1992 directed at the Bill Clinton’s presidential campaign’s workers. The economy affects us all and now more than ever. But what are the right tools to handle the economic crisis following in the path of the pandemic?

During this teachers’ seminar we met leading scientists, pedagogues and experts who gave teachers deeper knowledge and inspiration.
