Erasmus+ course
Course Overview
In a world where education must keep pace with technological change, school leaders and coordinators face the challenge of ensuring teachers are ready to lead digital transformation. This course aligns with European priorities for digital readiness, innovation, and inclusion. It empowers institutions to strengthen teaching quality, promote responsible use of technology, and build sustainable models for blended and future-ready education.
For teachers, this is a hands-on journey into creative, tech-empowered teaching. Together with peers from across Europe, participants will explore practical ways to integrate digital tools, AI, and blended learning strategies that make lessons more engaging, inclusive, and adaptable.
By the end of the course, educators will feel confident designing learning experiences that inspire curiosity, collaboration, and innovation in every classroom.
