Currently, there are four annual conferences in Europe on the topic of CI (Comprehensible Input). The first and pioneering conference in Europe was The Agen Workshop in the south of France. It is the oldest and largest conference with a strong influence from the USA. The conference language is English, and it lasts for six full days (Monday to Saturday), always taking place in the last full week of July.

 

Following this, other conferences have emerged, such as our FUNN Conference in Frankfurt, Dynamic Language Learning in the Netherlands (conference language: English), and the Soy de Idiomas conference in Huesca, Spain (conference language: Spanish). These conferences also aim to promote CI-based methods but with an approach more aligned to European perspectives and realities.

 

Additionally, Charlotte Dincher (Germany, Bremen), Hélène Colinet (Mallorca, conference language: Spanish), and Liam Printer (mostly online, sometimes in person, conference language: English) regularly offer professional development and CI training sessions, which can be booked individually.

 

If you wish to further your expertise in the field of CI, don't hesitate to participate in one of these conferences or invite these trainers to your school for a workshop.
