The history of the festival of school teachers began in 2010 – the Year of the Teacher.

A republican forum was organized at the Yelabuga Institute of KFU, the main participants of which were the best teachers of the country, who are ready to adopt and introduce innovations.

The festival was conceived as the only platform in Russia and the first in Tatarstan for organizing professional interaction of teachers, which allows, on the one hand, to integrate various forms of their intellectual and socio-cultural activities, providing an opportunity for a free exchange of views on the development of education, self-presentation, and discussion of a set of problems in their aggregates and relationships. On the other hand, the festival form presupposes a rich program of events that allow the participants to be included in the unique atmosphere of education as a form of life and activity. Having proved its relevance, in 2011 the festival received the status of an All-Russian, and then international.

The thematic focus of the festival is determined annually based on the needs of the time, the latest trends in the development of education.
