On Tuesday, 21 October, the Introductory Webinar of the ISLE project was held on the theme: Innovative and Sustainable Learning Environments in Primary Schools.
The webinar marked the official launch of the ISLE Project—Innovative and Sustainable Learning Environments in Primary Schools, presenting the project objectives, key concepts, and the international consortium. Additionally, the new ISLE International Network was announced—an international network that will connect schools, trainers, and stakeholders across Europe.
The ISLE Project, funded under the Erasmus+ Teacher Academies programme, aims to address the need for high‑quality and inclusive primary education in Europe by redesigning learning environments through innovation and sustainability. By creating a network of teacher education providers and stakeholders, ISLE fosters a collaborative community dedicated to jointly reflecting on and developing effective educational practices. Through research, professional development, and policy engagement, the project seeks to empower educators and contribute to reforms that support equitable, sustainable, and future‑ready learning systems.
Establishment of the ISLE International Network
Led by the University of Latvia, the ISLE consortium is launching an International Network of organisations and stakeholders involved in Initial Teacher Education (ITE) and Continuing Professional Development (CPD). This network will bring together teachers, school leaders, researchers, policymakers, non‑profit organisations, and educational communities committed to building inclusive, innovative, and sustainable learning environments in primary schools.
WP3 – Mapping Policies and Needs
ISLE project partners are conducting research on current policies and the needs of primary education systems across Europe. Through a combination of document analysis and field research, this work will ensure that the ISLE framework reflects the real needs of schools and educational systems.
The full recordings are now available on the ISLE YouTube playlist:
We invite colleagues in the education sector to watch the sessions and learn more about the project’s collaborative approach to promoting quality, equity, and innovation in primary education.
