How does it work?

You sign up for the project through this website.

The project runs from November until May. Sign-up closes mid-October.

You will be placed in a small group of international students. From then on you will work through a Starter Pack together.

As a group you plan online meetings to discuss the various topics, while assembling a portfolio together.

At the end of the project, you send in the portfolio . You will receive a certificate of participation with the value of 56 hours.

Once you finish the programme, you are of course free to stay in touch with your new friends. Who knows, maybe you will set up projects together in the future!

Who can participate?

Any student who is enrolled in a Bachelor or Masters Programme in the field of Education can take part in TAB. Due to the online meetings, we mostly work with universities in timezones that align well with mainland Europe.

If you are a professor and you would like to be part of TAB with your students, please get in touch!

Experiences from previous participants

Connecting with colleagues from across Europe was the best part. I've learned to be more open-minded and less stuck in my "Austrian bubble." I'm walking away with a deeper appreciation for how culture and music can bring students together, and I can't wait to bring that international energy into my teaching. ~ Felix from Austria

In my final reflection, I see that the TAB Project is not only an opportunity to explore educational systems in Europe, but also a way to grow personally and professionally. By learning from different teaching methods and collaborating with my colleagues from diverse backgrounds, I hope to develop new ideas, expand my perspective, and become a more reflective and adaptable educator. ~ Ana from Portugal

I found these meetings incredibly instructive. We were supposed to talk on the phone for about an hour, but it always ended up being an hour and a half or two hours. The week before the meeting, I would gather information about what I wanted to share. Then I translated it and tried to practice difficult words. ~ Marion from the Netherlands
