Specialised courses, which will be offered in Gozo from this year, have been made possible through an agreement reached between the Eekhout Academy from Belgium and The Mikiel Anton Vassalli College, Malta.

These residential courses will focus on “Leadership Quality And Innovation” which will be held in March and then in April, “Meta-learning and Thinking Skills.”

Eekhout is a Belgian Institution specialising in teacher training at European level and offers residential courses in various countries – now in Gozo. Mikiel Anton Vassalli is the receiving partner.

The Head of the College Network, Mr Victor Galea said, “thanks to this agreement we are creating an opportunity for local teachers and school leaders, to be trained in innovative processes for the necessary changes in the education provided today, in order to address the challenges of the changes needed for 21st century education. In this way we will be creating networks and synergy between European and local teachers.”

Teachers applying for this training will be able to benefit from available funding from one of the European Education Programs ErasmusPlus.
