You have come a long way to be part of the conference in this small yet geographically diverse and culturally rich country, Nepal. We think that it is a great opportunity for you to combine the conference with a fantastic trek along the crests of the mountains with a beautiful view of the gigantic Himalayas, and traditional villages. We invite you to experience the raw Nepali lifestyle through all five senses and extend the imagination beyond. We are also inviting some amazing Speakers, local and international, to serve you a sweet dessert for your body and soul at the end of IDEC 2023.

Are teachers eternal students ? Because the more you learn from your students, the better you teach them. Let’s discuss about your opinion at IDEC 2023.
