4th Online Coordination Meeting of the LeadEx Project

19/12/2025

On 18 December, EARLALL participated in the 4th online coordination meeting of the LeadEx project, bringing together project partners to discuss the progress of ongoing activities and the development of EARLALL’s Joint Regional Educational Diagnosis Report.

The meeting was coordinated by Francisco Veas Iniesta from the Regional Ministry of Education and Vocational Training of the Region of Murcia and focused on key priorities for the second project semester.

Representatives from the Central Denmark Region introduced the Good Practice Template (GPT). The GPT is designed to translate regional success stories into a structured format, enabling uniform analysis and transferability. By collecting concrete and measurable data, the template supports the identification and exchange of effective practices across LeadEx regions.

Partners from the Podkarpackie Region highlighted the activities focused on Continuous Professional Development for Teachers. These activities aim to identify and share good practices that strengthen teachers’ professional competences and support the alignment of educational strategies across regions. Criteria for good practices include prior implementation, visible results, and clear transferability.

The Estonian Quality Agency for Education then presented the programme of the upcoming study visit to Estonia, scheduled for 9–11 March 2026. The three-day study visit will combine an overview of the Estonian education system, discussions on regional education policy and teachers’ professional development, and study visits to innovative Estonian education and training organisations.

As the communication leader, EARLALL presented the results of the Semester 1 communication report and, in its role as an advisory partner, provided updates on the Joint Regional Educational Diagnosis Report. Data collected from project partners are currently feeding into the report, with analytical work ongoing and the final version expected by mid-February. Key findings will be presented during the study visit in Estonia on 9 March. The report will highlight shared challenges, strengths, and complementarities across regions, thereby supporting evidence-based interregional learning and policy development.

The meeting reaffirmed the importance of regional cooperation, peer learning, and evidence-based approaches in strengthening teacher development and lifelong learning systems across Europe. Through LeadEx, EARLALL continues to facilitate knowledge exchange among regions and support the co-creation of innovative and inclusive educational policies.
