2025 Valencia, Spain
By invitation from the Conselleria de Educación of Valencia, DIPS25 took place in the magical setting of La Petxina in the heart of the city. 2025 also saw the very successful launch of the first edition of DIPS for Vocational Education (DIPSVET). We are particularly grateful to our partners – AP University of Applied Sciences and Arts Antwerp, Région Académique Occitanie, Generalitat Valenciana and Florida Cicles Formatius – and to Hilde Hoefnagels for making DIPS25 such a huge success!
Our Guiding Theme that year was Erasmus+ as a driver for Change.
