"Digital solutions should support—not replace—teachers. They must be designed to reduce burdens, not create new ones."
— Frank van Cappelle (UNICEF, 2024)
We succesfully organised the Teachers' Professional Development Club meeting on 🗓 7th July 2025.
The meeting paved the way to the Club's outcome, that will be framed and drafted together by all members, taking into consideration the five thematic areas identified by participants during the Kick-Off Meeting.
Experts from the World Economic Forum, ETUCE (European Trade Union Committee for Education), and the LLLP (Lifelong Learning Platform – European Civil Society for Education) joined to discuss key issues related to teachers' professional development. They engaged in debates and were interviewed to share diverse perspectives and practices.
