From June 3–5, 2025, the Erasmus+ TAP-TS (Teacher Academy Project – Teaching Sustainability) came to a close with a final project meeting and a teacher educator multiplier event in Dresden. Hosted by TU Dresden, the events brought together 15 project team members representing 11 partner institutions from 7 European countries, along with 15 invited experts in sustainability-focused teacher education from across Europe.
Over the three days, participants reflected on the outcomes of the project and explored ways to sustain its impact. A key highlight was the presentation of the final evaluation report, conducted by K&R Education (Sweden). The evaluation confirmed that TAP-TS made a significant and lasting impact on educators, students, and institutions. Teachers reported transformative changes to their classroom practices, including more interdisciplinary and outdoor learning, increased collaboration, and the integration of the GreenComp framework. Students became more engaged and took greater responsibility for sustainability in their schools. School leaders initiated whole-school strategies, and teacher educators integrated project materials into both pre-service and in-service training.
During the multiplier event, participants explored all seven Learning and Teaching Packages (LTPs) through interactive sessions. These interdisciplinary resources—praised for their clarity, adaptability, and relevance—will continue to be used in teacher education and schools. The accompanying LTP Compendium offers pedagogical guidance for their implementation.
The meeting concluded with the 20-year celebration of the TU Dresden ZLSB, a fitting backdrop for a project dedicated to educational transformation.
Importantly, TAP-TS does not end here. Many partners expressed strong intentions to continue working together, extend the network, and build on the project’s results through new collaborations, adaptations of materials, and integration into national contexts. The project leaves a lasting foundation for embedding sustainability in education across Europe.
