Sustainable competitiveness in the twin transition through higher education staff acquisition – academia-industry collaboration and hybrid careers supporting experienced professionals in accessing the teaching and research professions in HE in Europe
Schools as learning institutions – European Social Partners in Education promoting effective quality and innovation management models in the education sector in a post Covid-19 era
Effective School Management in the Twin Transition – Evolution of Teachers Working Time due to the Green and Digital Transitions – Education Employers Capacity Building Project
The ‘European Social Partners in Education Promoting Environmental Sustainability in School Learning, Teaching and Management’ is an ongoing two-year initiative led by EFEE and our partners at ETUCE. The scope of the project is to explore teacher education and school management’s role in creating eco-friendly learning environments.
This, in turn, should support the implementation of the EU’s green working agenda in European countries by fostering the development of sustainable societies as a continuous learning process from an early stage. Throughout the course of the project, case study visits have taken place in Ireland, Finland, Poland, and Spain – allowing EFEE and ETUCE to delve into best practices related to this subject and fostering a rich dialogue between education employers and trade union representatives. In this process, we have also conducted a comprehensive survey aimed at filling knowledge gaps on EU-level environmentally friendly learning – presented in the project’s Final Conference along with Joint Recommendations from the social partners.
Innovation4Education: Strengthening the Capacity of Education Employers Through the Promotion of Innovation in Education Institutions in a Post-Covid-19 Era
The ‘Innovation4Education’ project aims to enhance the capabilities of European education employers in a post-COVID-19 era by promoting innovation in educational institutions. In this context, it seeks to identify the management and leadership competences that are necessary to create and support innovative and resourceful spaces. We have already experienced how quickly everything can change; therefore, it is important that education employers prepare their institutions and employees to respond to future crises and challenges.
Focused on the principles of the European Pillar of Social Rights, the Innovation4Education project seeks to advance social dialogue and capacity building while fostering innovation in education to address the evolving needs of the sector. Innovation4Education is designed to empower European education employers to adapt to the challenges posed by the post-COVID-19 landscape. The project includes case study visits to Norway, Portugal, Belgium, and Slovenia – allowing EFEE and its membership to develop a truly European perspective on the subject. Taking place over the course of two years, the project includes advisory group meetings, Peer Learning Activities (PLA), and a final conference.
