Developing International Projects for Schools

presentation of SYNAPSES during DIPS conference

On the 21st and 22nd of October some of our ESHA colleagues were involved in different roles in the gathering in Brussels of Developing International Projects for Schools (DIPS).

Myrthe Stienstra gave a presentation about the SYNAPSES project and how to request Erasmus KA1 funding to visit Learning activities abroad, both for school heads and teachers. She particularly zoomed in on the SYNAPSES Summer School. Details can be found on the SYNAPSES website.

Petra van Haren zoomed in on digitalisation and the following ESHA projects: SuperCyberkids about cybersecurity, DRONE about digital literacy needed to tackle disinformation and CURIOSOIL where a holographic AI will be used in schools to support raising awareness of soil and soil education.

Paul Byrne represented the Irish perspective on the management of change in education.

Hosted by the Flemish department of Education the Flemish Education representatives welcomed participants and presented on the installing of a culture of evidence-informed practice at schools in Flanders.

In a dialogue and panel discussion the visions and perspectives of several countries were discussed on this, such as Spain, France, Belgium, Bulgaria, the Netherlands and Germany.

The International Education Strategy at Regional Level and the micro and macro effects were also a topic of enthusiastic conversations.
