Developing International Projects
for School Education
Developing International Projects for School Education (DIPSCO) is an annual professional development course for teachers, headteachers, and education officers from across Europe.
Organised by the LFEE Europe Group – in collaboration with the European Association of Training Providers (EATP) and local partners – the course offers an international incubator for ideas, partnerships, and Erasmus+ collaboration.
DIPSCO runs in parallel with DIPS for Vocational Education and Training (DIPSVET), creating a shared space for educators, leaders, and project coordinators to learn, network, and co-create innovative, sustainable Erasmus+ projects that make a long-term difference in schools and communities.
