Jean Monnet Actions for other fields of Education and Training: Teacher Training

Higher Education Institutions or Teacher Training Institutes/Agencies will organise activities under this action enabling teachers in schools and Vocational Education and Training (VET) providers to develop new skills, to teach and engage on EU matters, thus empowering them through a better understanding of the EU and its functioning.

Teacher training bodies (both for initial teacher education and for continuous professional development for teachers) will strengthen their internal knowledge and skills on teaching about EU matters, and this will, leave teachers better equipped when introducing EU content in their activities.

Teacher Training activities will support educational staff in schools and VET providers (ISCED 1 – 4).

Jean Monnet Teacher Training aims to support schools and VET providers in planning, organising and delivering EU content in their curricular and extra-curricular activities. The main objectives are to:

• allow schools and VET providers (ISCED 1- 4) to build knowledge about the EU among their teaching staff;
• Offer structured training proposals on EU subjects for schools and VET providers, provide content and methodologies for teacher teaching at various levels, from different backgrounds and experience;
• deliver specific individual or group training courses (modular, residential, blended or online) for teachers interested in the EU and willing to integrate EU subjects in their daily work;
• foster the confidence of teachers in integrating an EU angle in their daily work.
