TEACHERS` SMART UP: SUMMER EDITION 2026

Welcome to the page of the 10th, anniversary season of Teachers’ Smart Up: Summer Edition 2026! ☀️

Teachers’ Smart Up is an educational project by Sigma Software University that has been bringing together educators for many years — those who strive to grow, share their experience, and bring modern approaches into teaching. Over this time, the project has earned the recognition of the professional community: it received the DOU Award 2025, the Jury’s Choice award at People First Award 2026 in the Corporate Social Responsibility category, and was named among the TOP 7 best projects worldwide at the PRWeek Global Awards 2026 in the Public Sector category.

This season is a special one — for the tenth time, we are bringing the educational community together to exchange knowledge and experience 🎉

That’s why we’ve prepared even more inspiring sessions, hands-on practice, and fresh ideas. You can look forward to lectures from invited experts, as well as talks by your fellow community members, who will share their own cases, proven methodologies, and ideas that already work in the classroom!

As in the previous season, the program will be equally useful for lecturers at higher education institutions, school teachers, and educators at vocational (technical) schools. We want every participant to discover new tools, inspiration, and practical solutions. And, of course, following our good tradition, a lecture by an international speaker in English awaits you.

Join us to learn, exchange experience, discover new opportunities, and become part of a community that is already changing education today.

Register — it’s going to be great!

Participation in the intensive is free, and recordings of all lectures stay with you forever.
