TO INN ENGLISH

TO-INN articulates a network formed by 22 institutions of higher education  from seven Latin-American and five European countries (Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Honduras, Mexico, Paraguay; Spain, the Netherlands, England, Italy, Portugal).

The project TO-INN aims at improving the quality, capacity of innovation and the relevance of the performance of teacher-training institutions in common critical areas as well as at strengthening their social dimension through the implementation of an Interuniversity Action Plan. Thus, the expectation is to improve the efficacy and efficiency of the respective education systems for the benefit of the societies in the different countries.

One of the core topics of this project is the necessity of sharing the proposals of innovative teaching methods the universities implement to optimize the learning of new knowledge, skills and attitudes for future teachers. If we wish for citizens able to cope with new social challenges, we should know the training models, modalities and strategies the universities apply in their teacher training programmes.

Therefore, teacher training allows us to recognize and put into practice innovative ways of integrating key competences. It also allows us to improve the social relevance of the curricula in order to adjust their internal structure, functioning and results to the learning necessities of the students as well as to the interests and claims of their respective social, cultural and economic environments.
