Seventh European

Logo Conference

Sofia, Bulgaria

August 22-25, 1999

EUROLOGO is a biennial conference, which focuses on educational applications of Logo and other exploratory computational environments for all levels of education. Logo was born in the 20th century. What is Logo &endash; language, philosophy? How did Logo ideas develop? How far has Logo theory and practice gone? Where is Logo heading? These questions will seek their answers at Eurologo'99, which is special because it is at the border of two millennia &endash; a 20th century epilogue and an entrance to the year 2000.
