“ECEC staff without borders: the European future of In-service training in the Intec Project”.

On April 22, we co-hosted with Fondazione Bambini Bicocca the Final Dissemination Event of the INTEC project at the Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca.

What a day it was! More than 80 educators, researchers and professionals came together during the day to explore the future of Early Childhood Education and Care in Europe.

The morning session gave participants a deep dive into the INTEC European in-service training model, presenting the Transnational In-Service Training Curriculum (TITC), the five training courses developed across partner countries, and the innovative learning pathways designed to support the continuing professional development of ECEC professionals.

The afternoon brought also a lively and thought-provoking exchange on internationalisation practices and stretgies for educational services, and the opportunities offered by European programmes for early childhood settings, and the future scenarios ahead for ECEC across Europe — also open to an online audience.
