This Erasmus+ KA1-compatible course is designed for forward-thinking educators who want to enhance teaching and learning through innovation, digital transformation, and inclusive practices. Hosted in the Future Classroom Lab (FCL) in Brussels, the course offers a hands-on, immersive experience that supports key Erasmus+ priorities. Participants will explore Universal Design for Learning (UDL) through gamification, explore with inclusive assessment strategies, and learn how to integrate emerging technologies, including AI, robotics, digital storytelling, and interdisciplinary learning tools into their teaching. Through design thinking, participants will rethink traditional classroom approaches and design future-ready learning experiences.
