EUROLOGO is a biennial conference which focuses on educational
applications of Logo and other exploratory computer tools used in the
classroom at all age-levels of education.
The host country:

The 1101 years old Hungary is ready to provide a hearty welcome to
participants arriving from European countries and other parts of the
world. The date was chosen for the conference aiming to offer the

national educators and policy makers to meet with those of other
countries, giving a chance to get to know each other and exchange
ideas. The language of EUROLOGO 97 is English.
