We had the wonderful opportunity to present our Erasmus+ project FOOTT PRINTTS at #INTED2025 in Valencia. Once again, it became clear how strong the international interest is in high-quality teacher training and lifelong learning as key drivers for educational innovation.
The conference provided us with valuable new impulses, which we are now integrating into the analysis of our over 4,000 questionnaires completed by teachers, teacher trainers, and policy-makers. We’re excited to gain first insights and share the results in spring 2025!
At INTED 2025, it became clear once again how valuable international conferences are for Erasmus+ cooperation projects. They offer a unique platform to connect with education professionals from all over the world, share project outcomes, and gain fresh perspectives that can strengthen and expand ongoing collaborations. Among the key trends discussed at this year’s conference were Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education, Wellbeing, Social and Emotional Learning (SEL), and Universal Design for Learning 3.0 (UDL) — topics that are becoming increasingly central in international education dialogues. These discussions underline the importance of not only advancing technological innovation, but also focusing on inclusive and holistic approaches to teacher training and lifelong learning. Conferences like INTED help ensure that Erasmus+ project results are not just shared but actively integrated into wider educational practices, increasing their impact and sustainability across Europe and beyond.
As strong advocates of Erasmus+, we are always inspired when we see projects being shared in a way that others can learn from and build on. A great example is the Design Thinking model CoCreationPlanet, which is already being implemented in both schools and universities to foster creative and collaborative learning.
As we move forward, we hope that the outcomes of FOOTT PRINTTS will not only contribute to the ongoing dialogue but will also provide practical, adaptable solutions that can be easily implemented in other Erasmus+ projects, schools, and teacher training initiatives across Europe and beyond.
