We would like to revive the accountants' round table. This working group is intended to serve as an exchange for all accountants. New legal developments and their implementation within the schools will be discussed. Furthermore, different processes and challenges of the accounting departments of the different international schools will be reviewed.
The facility manager, once known as the 'professional in the basement', is now also an accomplished IT specialist and an increasingly important figure. To achieve this, we need pragmatic solutions with clear structures that enable fast, transparent workflows and work process protocols. This can be achieved more efficiently with the introduction of CAFM software, which offers unprecedented transparency and speed. Structure: 08:30-9:00 Welcome Coffee 9:00-12:45 Morning Session 12:45-13:45 Lunch 13:00-15:45 Afternoon Session
Participants (PYP Coordinators) will engage in dialogue and joint planning around key areas such as transdisciplinary learning, learner agency, assessment, and inclusion, while examining how aligned vision translates into consistent, high-quality PYP practice. The round table provides dedicated time and structure for coordinators to learn from one another, share challenges and successes, and co-construct strategies that are responsive to their unique school contexts.
The round table aims to foster mutual exchange, collaboration, and the continuous professional and personal development of members of the working group across participating schools. The Round Table will serve as a platform to: (a) promote professional and personal exchange among members of different schools, (b) encourage mutual support in educational, organizational, and cultural matters, (c) empower individual members through the sharing of best practices, (d) learn from and with one another in the spirit of global citizenship, (e) build and sustain a reliable network between schools, potentially including participants from partner schools. The LIS motto “Learning to be a Citizen of the World” calls on us to look beyond our immediate environment and to view diversity as a source of enrichment. A Round Table provides the ideal setting: it creates space for open dialogue, reflection, and the exchange of diverse experiences and perspectives. Participants are encouraged to act with courage, take pride in shared accomplishments, and cultivate inclusivity as a guiding principle of daily school life.
