About the European Innovative Teaching Award

Teachers, trainers and school leaders provide pupils, students and adult learners with the knowledge and competences they need to live a happy life.

Yet, education professionals are undervalued in today’s society – their work must be revalorised.

The European Commission launched the European Innovative Teaching Award in 2021, around the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic for the European education community.

Through this award, we want to celebrate the achievements of teachers and schools at all levels –early childhood education and care, primary and secondary education, and vocational education and training. Award winners represent inspiring examples for others, highlighting outstanding teaching practices.

The Erasmus+ National Agencies are responsible for the selection of winning projects through either a direct selection of awardees, short-listing of potential awardees or by publishing an open call.
