🤝 Professional Network

The EdTech4BY Community

The EdTech4BY Community is a professional association of Belarusian educators, e-learning providers, online schools and EdTech teams.

It connects individuals and organisations working in online education and provides a structured space for collaboration, quality development and long-term sustainability of the ecosystem.

The Community is not a discussion forum. It is a coordinated professional network with defined principles and governance.
