Last week, the second partner meeting of the EPRIME – EUROPEAN TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAM initiative took place in Vienna. This project aims to empower teachers who teach physical education to children aged 4-7. Gorica Bilak, the Director of Sports at ESSF, attended the meeting, representing our organization.

The meeting featured discussions on the results of tests conducted in focus groups, which included 55 teachers from across Europe, including the Netherlands, Portugal, Austria, Germany, Cyprus, North Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina (Republic of Srpska), and the Czech Republic.

ESSF had the opportunity to present examples of the visual identity of the EPRIME project, as well as outline the steps for project dissemination. Detailed information regarding the project’s dissemination strategy will be shared with partners via email in the coming weeks.

Looking ahead, the project will focus on the preparation of a Continuous Professional Development (CPD) course designed to support and empower teachers. This course aims to help teachers create and apply new ideas in early childhood physical education more effectively.

The next partner meeting is scheduled to take place in Portugal in September.
