🚀 Empowering educators in the digital transition: next generation strategies for teacher professional development Proud to share that, with the support of the European Commission's DG REFORM and the TSI (Technical Support Instrument), a collaborative project between Belgian (Flemish) and Dutch authorities is advancing the digital upskilling of educators! The main CPD providers from both Flanders and the Netherlands attended the kick-off of this project today in Brussels. Their involvement highlights the strong commitment across sectors to innovate teacher professional development and ensure it meets the demands of a digitalised world. Key outcomes will include: 1️⃣ An inventory of innovative digital approaches for teachers' professional development. 2️⃣ A new framework to enhance digital components in CPD for teachers. 3️⃣ Policy and funding adaptations to support these innovations. Thanks to this EU and TSI-backed initiative, these reforms will help drive long-term impact on education in Flanders and the Netherlands, ensuring teachers are equipped for the digital future. #DigitalTransformation #EdTech #EUSupport #TSI #CPD #Flanders #Netherlands Katrien Bernaerts Hamid Riffi IDEACONSULT International - Groupe STUDI ICF Cecile Hoareau McGrath ICT Minocw Ministry of Education and Training Schoolmakers meemoo, Flemish Institute for Archives Olav AdamiBart BoelenHans De Four

The Schuman Associates #SkillsCoalition, in collaboration with the Lifelong Learning Platform - European Civil Society for Education and the European Federation of Education Employers, has contributed to establishing the first-ever Intergroup on Education and Skills in the European Parliament, titled “Future of Education and Skills for a Competitive Europe.” An Intergroup is a forum for informal exchanges between Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) from different political groups. These groups also serve as a bridge between MEPs and civil society, which includes organisations, associations, and the general public. Key topics for the Intergroup include: prioritising education, addressing skills shortages and supporting Europe’s green and digital transition to ultimately strengthen European competitiveness. As a member of the Shuman Associate Skills Coalition, we look forward to exchange and work with stakeholders on these topics to continue to ensure the European cosmetics industry remains innovative, sustainable and competitive.

We are pleased to announce that our Erasmus+ KA210 project called Sustain Our Future Together- SOFT, has been awarded a grant by the Dutch National Agency.
