In an ever-evolving educational landscape, the “Innovations in Education” project stands as a beacon of progress and transformation. Spearheaded by a consortium of dedicated educators and institutions, this initiative aims to redefine the learning experiences of students, particularly those at risk of dropping out, and to enhance the professional competencies of teachers through the adoption of innovative methods and techniques.
Objectives
The primary objectives of the project are multifaceted, focusing on both student success and teacher development:
- Boost Student Performance and Success: By implementing new teaching strategies, the project aims to significantly improve the academic performance of students, particularly those at risk of dropping out. The goal is to increase the number of students pursuing higher education.
- Introduce Innovative Teaching Methods: Teachers will be equipped with cutting-edge educational techniques and technologies, enabling them to foster a more engaging and effective learning environment.
- Enhance ICT Skills: The project seeks to develop the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) skills of both teachers and students, preparing them for the digital demands of the modern world.
- Foster International Collaboration: Participants will have the opportunity to observe and compare different educational systems across various countries, promoting a global perspective in education.
Implementation
To achieve these ambitious goals, the project outlines a series of Learning, Teaching, and Training Activities (LTTA) across Europe. These activities are designed to provide hands-on experience and foster international collaboration:
- France (02-05/10/2023)
