On 28 May 2026, EARLALL participated in the eighth Coordination Meeting of the LeadEx – Learning about the Educational Approach to Develop Excellence project, funded by the Interreg Europe Programme. The online meeting brought together project partners from Region of Murcia Murcia, Podkarpackie Region, Central Denmark Region, Ministry of Education of Slovenia, Center for Vocational Education of Montenegro, and EARLALL member Varaždin County to review progress and coordinate activities for the third semester of the project.

The meeting marked the official launch of the project’s third implementation semester (May-October 2026), during which partners will focus on identifying and exchanging Good Practices that promote inclusion, diversity, and excellence in education. Participants shared updates on stakeholder engagement activities taking place across their regions and discussed ongoing efforts to identify, collect, and assess innovative educational approaches.

A key item on the agenda was the preparation of the upcoming Study Visit to Montenegro, scheduled to take place from 5 to 9 October 2026 in Montenegro. The visit will explore themes related to inclusive education, diversity, excellence, innovation, lifelong learning, and the links between education and labour market needs. Partners also discussed the presentation of selected Good Practices and stakeholder involvement during the visit.

As the project’s communication leader, EARLALL provided an update on communication and dissemination activities. Discussions focused on finalising second-semester reporting and implementing the communication actions planned for the current semester, including project news articles, social media activities, newsletters, and contributions to the Interreg Europe Policy Learning Platform.

The meeting concluded with an agreement on the key priorities for the coming months, including the completion of stakeholder consultations, the selection of one Good Practice per partner region, and preparations for the October Study Visit. Through its continued involvement in LeadEx, EARLALL remains committed to fostering interregional cooperation and supporting the exchange of innovative approaches that contribute to more inclusive, diverse, and excellent education systems across Europe.
