Increasingly, the consensus in the education profession is
that school chess works. The chess fraternity don’t need to
exaggerate the benefits of chess for children or over-sell
it. In most countries demand exceeds supply.
Let
us refocus on improving, learn from each other's mistakes,
introduce benchmarks, share best practice and successful
models for delivery while making research relevant to our
projects. Federations and clubs must start to grasp the
challenge of school chess and the necessity to rethink or
create strategies.

The first day, 7 December, will be of special
interest to teachers and researchers, while day two, 8
December, with its focus on organisational and strategic
questions is tailor-made for project leaders and chess
federations.
The conference features the latest success
stories from Armenia, Sweden, Denmark and Hungary as well as recent
research and commentary from eminent scientists and authors. |
