The European Innovative Teaching Award is an annual initiative that showcases outstanding teaching practices within the Erasmus+ programme and recognises the work of teachers and their schools engaged in European cooperation projects. Launched in 2021, it highlights innovative teaching and learning approaches which address new challenges posed to education and training across Europe by a rapidly evolving world. The initiative focuses on school education (primary and secondary), including early childhood education and care, and vocational education and training (VET) schools.
In 2022, the yearly theme is linked to the New European Bauhaus (NEB) initiative of the Commission: “Learning together, promoting creativity and sustainability”.
Our project Think Inside The Box! A methodological STEAM toolkit for Schools, which involved more than 100 enthusiastic teachers and 1,200 students in the challenge, was awarded in the topic of creativity. You can learn more about the project’s relevance to the topics of the EITA2022 award on the EITA website.
The following winning projects have been inspired by this component
Promoting creativity is one of the key components of #EITA2022 and at the essence of many of the winning projects. It is fundamental to all academic disciplines & education, not just the arts!
