The FEDORAS Academy is built around five Open Schooling Networks in Finland, Greece, Italy, Norway and Spain, bringing together schools, universities and local communities to rethink and transform teacher education from the ground up.
These networks connect pre-service and in-service secondary school teachers, teacher educators, researchers, students and other local stakeholders, creating spaces for collaboration, experimentation and shared learning.
Each Open Schooling Network acts as a living laboratory, where educational innovation emerges from the needs, experiences and challenges of real educational contexts. Teachers and researchers work together to explore educational questions, co-design teaching and learning activities, experiment with new approaches to STEAM education for sustainability, and collectively reflect on their practices and experiences.
The networks foster an ongoing dialogue between educational research, teaching practice and the wider community. Teachers actively contribute their professional knowledge and classroom experiences to the development, adaptation and refinement of educational approaches and resources.
Each network is shaped by its local educational ecosystem, while connections across the five countries support the exchange of experiences, resources and perspectives, contributing to a shared European effort to transform teacher education.
