Developing International Projects
for School Education (DIPS)
Valencia, 2025
DIPS is a unique Professional Development training course organised by LFEE Europe and ACT España, in collaboration with the European Association of Training Providers (EATP). It is a signature annual event for both specialists and newcomers to the world of International Education, as it offers an outstanding networking opportunity and provides a place where experts share valuable insights on how to be successful in their applications for funding and how to make their projects sustainable.
DIPS attracts 100+ participants from all over Europe and across a great variety of educational sectors. It addresses core aspects of successful internationalisation strategies using the Erasmus+ programme. Each year, we work with a central theme connecting with Erasmus+ priorities and offer a wide variety of learning experiences, from plenary to workshops and peer-lead exchanges of inspiring practices.
Participants are able to choose their workshops throughout the week to suit their needs, interests and level of expertise.
