The European Innovative Teaching Award is more than just a ceremony; it is a celebration of an established brand that has made a profound impact on education in Europe.
It is an opportunity to honour the educators and schools that continue to push the boundaries of teaching and learning.
The event also facilitates networking and the exchange of ideas, best practices, and collaborative projects to enrich the educational landscape of Europe.
The ceremonial part celebrates the achievements of the award winners with a special ceremony dedicated to handing out trophies per category. Pia Ahrenkilde Hansen, Director-General of the Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture (DG EAC), will deliver the opening address at this year's event, while European Commission Executive Vice-President Roxana Mînzatu will give a keynote speech. Executive Vice-President Roxana Mînzatu will present the awards to this year’s winners.
Each award winner will be invited to the stage to receive their trophy.
