How does it work?
Find European partners for your next project on tackling skills challenges!Do you want to submit a proposal as a project leader? Please fill in the form by 15 September 2017. This form should only be completed by potential project promoters who have a clear project idea and who are willing to act as a project leader under Erasmus+ KA2, KA3 or Sport calls. You will be notified in the second half of September 2017 whether your project idea has been selected to participate in the project development workshop*, and by the end of September we will distribute the best project ideas among potential partners. Interested partners will be able to sign up for the project development workshop until October 23rd, and project leaders will select themselves the best partners for their project. An e-confirmation of participation will be sent later in October.
To warm up, you can participate in an afternoon seminar and cocktail reception on Thursday 30 November. During the evening networking cocktail you will have the opportunity to exchange your views with experts on education and policy officers of the European Commission, as well as to network with potential partners. Please note that the ReSET group does not cover travel or accommodation expenses.
On Friday 1 December, project leaders will prepare and lead their own workshop, presenting their ideas in roundtables with the partners that they will have selected beforehand. Still unsure about what will happen? Check out last year’s PDW in our presentation video!
This event is a co-organisation of the Representation of the State of Baden-Württemberg to the EU, EARLALL, the Liaison agency Flanders-Europe (vleva), the West-Finland European Office, South Denmark European Office, Central Denmark EU Office, and the Lifelong Learning Platform. Both the cocktail reception and the workshops will take place in Brussels.
Get ideas for your project!
The knowledge, skills and attitudes of each of Europe’s 6 million teachers are of great importance. The quality of their teaching has a direct effect upon learners’ attainment.The demands made on teachers, school leaders, and teacher educators are increasing and changing. They are called on to play a key role in modernising education. To do that, they need to develop their own competences. Initial education and continuous professional development of the highest quality, and access to support throughout their careers are both essential.
