In the first decade of the 21st century scientific and technological achievements in the world have resulted in significant innovations that enable the development of education in new and creative ways. This state of affairs creates the need of reviewing the achieved level of development as well as summarizing those research results that are useful for the education of the present and future generations who must prepare themselves to live and work productively in the future and contribute actively to the development of scholarship and the society as a whole. Therefore, the implementation of new knowledge is a major task at all levels of education.
Our prime motivation for organizing this conference derives from the following objective: - Education must further develop so as to incorporate new achievements in science and research results in various disciplines related to education, and young generations must be adequately educated for the present and future social environment they will work and live in. The conference organizers hope to see affirmative research results and experiences in various forms of education presented at the conference. Thus, the conference hopes to create an opportunity for its participants to learn about innovations and creativity at all levels of education within the European context and educational framework. The objective of becoming part of European scientific and educational institutions is shared by the countries of the South Slavic area, among which is Bosnia-Herzegovina.
