Motivating Teachers 4 Europe

2026-07-22

“Motivating Teachers 4 Europe” (MOTIVATE) is an innovative project designed by the University of Piraeus and its Research Center (UPRC) under the coordination of the Jean Monnet Chair on European Union’s Education, Training, Research and Innovation Policies and the Laboratory of Education Policy, Research, Development and Interuniversity Cooperation, Department of International and European Studies. The interdisciplinary team of the project consists of professors and researchers from eight Greek Universities which offer initial or continuous teachers training. The aim of MOTIVATE is to organize targeted training activities enabling active and future teachers to increase their knowledge on EU, to develop new skills, and to engage and include EU matters in schools’ curricula and extracurricular activities. Enhancing the EU aspects in both schools and local societies enables young people and adults to acquire skills and competences necessary for active citizenship and participation in our European Democracy and have a greater say for the Future of Europe. MOTIVATE will offer training on EU subjects specifically designed for teachers, in Greek, English and in sign language promoting inclusiveness and the European dimension at all levels of education including special needs education. It is based on a flexible Microlearning Programme and eighteen workshops oriented on “how to” implement EU at school and society. A Dissemination and Sustainability Plan will be designed and implemented in order for the project to widen and expand its outcomes.
