OELT Annual Meeting 2025
OELT Annual Meeting 2025
Two-pronged approach: Educational Travel - Languages & Alpine adventures.
13th September 2025 - Region Graubünden, Davos-Klosters: Aula, Schule Klosters.
The acronym OELT stands for Organized Educational Leisure and Travel. The OELT Annual Meeting is an event concept that examines the theme of educational travel as a private leisure activity with a focus on languages (German, Italian and English) and the alpine regions in Grison and Ticino.
The composition of the event is as follows:
The first session (research) is a working meeting among scholars (scientists). The aim is to address different disciplines in the context of educational travel. Among other things, it also offers the opportunity for young researchers to gain valuable impressions from the research practice as well as from the experiences of the experts.
The second session (practice) is a stakeholder meeting for collecting project ideas and discussing the implementation of existing project ideas in context of the concept Natur in Switzerland.
The third session (practice) is the presentation of the methodology of the concept Nature in Switzerland, which consists of a photo exhibition, a podium with experts and a classical concert. The aim is to have stakeholders themselves interpret the value of this concept and then decide without obligation what relevance the concept may have for them and for their young people.
The format of the OELT Annual Meeting was conceived by the Memor Investigatio Forum to further think about the concept of Nature in Switzerland within the context of educational travel.
