— Facilitate the transferability and scalability of innovative
measures.
The priority themes for this call are:
— Promoting social inclusion and shared EU values through formal and non-formal Learning
— Mainstreaming and further developing multilingual pedagogies in school education (e.g. working in multilingual classrooms/with bilingual children) and supporting teachers and their training to deal with diversity in classrooms;
— Digital assessment: identifying best practices across educational sectors and countries and scaling up of best practices and experimentation;
— VET teachers and trainers in work-based learning/apprenticeship (VET)
— Implementation of Upskilling Pathways for adults without an upper secondary qualification or equivalent
