Why these four days

Days the nation already marks, given a practical purpose

Ministries mark these days, the media cover them, and organisations look for a meaningful way to take part. The series turns each one into skills and public recognition: the project skills that turn investment into results.

Teachers Who Build™: choose your track

Day 1 runs three Summit tracks side by side. Day 2 is the Summit and Challenge Finals, with Teacher Builder of the Year.

A

Project-based learning and teaching

Design AI-ready lessons and run projects your students finish, in real classrooms with large groups.

You leave with one project-based unit ready to teach.

B

Digital course publishing

Turn what you teach into a published course: structure, quality, rights, pricing and the rules that apply to you.

You leave with a course outline and a publishing plan.

C

Instructor & Mentor Pathway

Live bench sessions led by members of the National Instructor & Mentor Corps: how selection works, what the training involves, how teaching and mentoring are paid.

You leave knowing whether the pathway fits you.

Track C, plainly

  • It is a pathway: the Corps selects instructors and mentors on merit. Nobody buys a place.
  • No income is promised. Each assignment states its rate before you accept it.
  • Serving public-school teachers take part as teachers (vacataires), as public-service rules allow; paid individual coaching is offered by private-sector and retired members.

Two days for XAF 20,000

Early-bird until 27 August 2027, and at any time for schools sending 10 or more teachers; then XAF 25,000. Online is free.
