Description
What are the priorities of the Erasmus+ programs, and how can you incorporate them into your school projects?
How can these priorities be addressed effectively in your classroom?
If you have ever asked yourself these questions, this course will provide you with the tools to not only implement them but also to approach them in innovative and interdisciplinary ways.
This course introduces participants to the Erasmus+ programme’s priorities – Inclusion and Diversity, Digital Transformation, Green Transition, and Active Participation – providing them with the knowledge and strategies needed to implement these priorities within their educational settings.
During the course, participants will take part in hands-on activities designed to help them experience and adapt practical strategies for their classroom.
The activities will include workshops on inclusive practices, training on digital tools and pedagogy, sustainability-focused creative projects, and approaches for fostering civic engagement and active participation among students.
The activities will help the participants notice which priority matches their school’s needs to improve and benefit from the Erasmus+ project.
By the end of the course, participants will have a deeper understanding of the Erasmus+ priorities and how to address them in their teaching practice.
They will leave with concrete strategies developed in a collaborative international environment, ready to transform their classrooms and contribute to their school’s development, becoming an active member of the European educational community.
Please note: Depending on availability, this course may include a presentation of the Erasmus+ project by a school project coordinator.
