The lecturers were members of the Expert Working Group for the Comprehensive Curriculum Reform, who gave three 15-minute lectures each on the following topics:
- Curricular Approach: Objectives and Principles
- Specific changes and innovations brought by the Comprehensive Curriculum Reform in elementary and secondary schools
- Subjects in the new curriculum
Each lecture was followed by 15 minutes for participant questions. A total of over 1000 participant questions were received, and 80-90 of them were answered during each of the three webinars held.
A total of 1617 participants attended the webinars, mostly from schools whose staff connected to the webinar from a single location, but also some individual participants. This makes this webinar the largest webinar ever held in Croatia.
