E3: empowering education in a European context

This international module aims to create a European learning community of teachers with a focus on teaching in Europe, professional teamwork, education for citizenship and intercultural communication in education. 

The programme is open to all students enrolled in a teacher training programme, who wish to professionalise their teaching skills in a European context. The content applies to preprimary, primary and secondary education. The programme offers a combination of theoretical modules (lectures/group work/school visits/blended learning) and a practice-oriented module.

The practice-oriented module contains two weeks of practice (school observation, co-teaching, development of educational materials, …) and several traineeship days. Students work with a digital portfolio. 

In 2023-2024 the course will be implemented in Barcelona, Spain.
