Education is facing a turning point. Climate change, rapid technological shifts, and changing social dynamics are reshaping the world students are preparing for.
The FEDORAS Academy is a European initiative responding to this moment. Built on research and collaboration, it brings together educators, researchers, schools, and communities to reimagine how secondary school teachers are supported and trained.
The Academy is not just a project, it is a shared effort to equip teachers with the tools, ideas, and confidence to help students navigate a changing world and shape sustainable futures.

The FEDORAS Academy is grounded in cutting-edge research and builds on European initiatives like FEDORA, SEAS, and CLIMADEMY. It addresses deep misalignments between today’s educational systems and the urgent challenges of our time, from climate change to digital transformation.

At the heart of the Academy are five Open Schooling Networks across Europe, spaces where teachers, researchers, and communities co-design new approaches to teaching. Through ChangeLabs, mobility, and ongoing collaboration, the Academy becomes a living network of transformation.
Schools have to become flexible structures open to society and able to make a difference in the world.

Teachers, researchers, and school leaders can freely access a growing collection of resources developed through the Academy: assessment guides, co-design templates, STEAM modules, and policy briefs.

Follow the Academy’s development and discover how to participate, collaborate, or bring these tools and ideas into your own context. Our monthly newsletter shares updates, stories from the field, upcoming opportunities, and practical resources.

From summer schools to narratives of change, this section captures the evolution of the Academy in motion. It documents what’s emerging, insights, voices, events, visuals as the work unfolds.
